Back in the day, we had a section of our site called “Acpressions”. These featured poetry and verse, both funny and serious, along with photographs and artwork which could be shared with others. Time and change have made this part of our site obsolete, but we wanted to preserve of the best of Acpressions so they’d not be lost in some dusty old corner and forgotten. Today, we’re featuring a poem by TC called “Footprints in the Snow”. We hope you enjoy and share it with your friends.<\/p>\n

Footprints in the Snow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What shy and pale darkness drifts down upon this land?
\nBetween the seasons changing, a quiet, silent hand.
\nThe gift of life pervading the death that does surround
\nThe whiteness of the morning and the silence all around.<\/p>\n

I can see the footprints, the ones I’ve left behind;
\nA long and winding trail of steps that destiny designed.
\nA trail of tears and laughter, of sun and shadows deep,
\nOf promises I’ve broken and ones I’ve yet to keep.<\/p>\n

I shall not let this sadness nor lost love set my course;
\nOr base the steps I’ve yet to take on passion or remorse.
\nMy mind still stained with savage pain of things that cannot be;
\nOf gentle hours and sweet snow showers and nights upon the sea.<\/p>\n

And though today I walk away from things familiar too,
\nI’ll make new footprints in the snow, where once the flowers grew;
\nGuided by a dream unseen; a dream that will not die,
\nMy footprints winding through the snow; beneath a twilight sky.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
