Footprint


In this world of black, white and the grey,
which color do you portray?

In this play of sun and the shade,
are you strong enough not to fade?

In this struggle for goodness and wealth,
are kindness & empathy your qualities stealth?

In this race with many turtles wise,
can you persist in midst of distractions & disguise?

In this soft, slippery sand of time,
will you leave your footprint behind?

[p.s. Had taken this photo sometime last year at a turtle farm in Tioman Island, Malaysia. That lining of small impressions is formed by footsteps of a turtle]
