Broken At Our Feet

Broken At Our Feet

Each step creates a universe around us
Where possibilities multiply like stars.
Each day falls back into history behind us
As each morning a new world is created.

All around us this new world grows
Out of what remains of the old life
We thought was the only one
We could ever want or need.

But it lies here broken at our feet
As we turn to walk away, apart.
Each heading off down new roads,
Each following the light of new stars,

And not looking back ever again
To face those memories that lie
Heaped up here waiting for history
To turn them into long forgotten times.
