Footsteps – Written November 2007 (Aged 32)

Footsteps

when you know my footsteps
maybe then,
tell me who i am
only then can you be my guest
when you have trodden my path
maybe then,
tell me who i am
when you have studied my maps
when you decide to understand
when you know my footsteps
and when,
you have found your own destination
maybe then,
tell me who i am
i watch you deliver your spite
with nervous hands
when you know my footsteps
maybe then,
tell me who i am
be my guest
when you take time to understand




James Garratt – November 2007
