Not Forever

your image shrinks
backlit, busy and focused

moving forward
back turned

not leaving us behind
but not staying

go on
find your way

no surprise
years turn into seconds

embraces turn familiar faces
into rivers of tears

such a small bag
holds everything

go now, march uphill
I'll be on my way down

suddenly walking in opposite directions
I still can't help but smile

gone
but not forever

until then, leaves will fall
and snow may come

footprints once again
pointing towards home
