Soft Footfalls and Strong Footsteps

The floating 

dock on
the lake
gives a
bouncy 
calm
in the cool
autumn air. 
Wind 
speaks through
the crispy
leaves still
hanging 
on the
almost
bare
branches 
of trees.
Soft sandy
footfall
drives
the closing
of the day. 
Bear like
strength 
in my footsteps
will guide
me upon
the wooden
planking
without 
sense of
next.
