Footprints
Happiness is a set of footprints
on the edge of disaster. They create a beautiful, textured ring around crisis; there's hope in the spaces between the toes, tenderness in the heel, and love in the ball. They're staggered as if they were dancing. The markings of walking on tiptoes are traces of a reach toward heaven, and the last bits of joy left before the deep markings of feet digging into sand and jumping into death. © 2014 Nicholas Emeigh |
