Pawprints

I shall wait for it, always…

I saw a trail of pawprints

Not knowing where they led

I decided to follow them

Up the winding road ahead

— — —

For a distance, they went

Upon the curvy muddy path

Then they shifted over

To the soft green grass

— — —

From there they led on

To the glimmering blue stream

Then the pawprints were joined by

Water droplets to form a team

— — —

Over the tall bushes and

Knotted roots I ventured

Hoping to get this

Stealthy creature pictured

— — —

But then due to my beaten luck

The trail went till the tarred roadway

Then left me standing by myself

Leaving me alone with my dismay

— — —

I hope to find that creature soon

And ask it why it left me

To go back to my silent abode

With nothing on my camera to see

— — —

So I’m always prepared with my camera

In case it decides to stroll along

To store the memory in my heart

Where with me forever it will belong
