Footprints

What do you think,

when you put one foot in front of the other?

Do you focus on the one ahead,

or the one you are supposed to let go?

Do I focus on the one ahead,

which will now carry the weight,

will it stand firm under the burden,

will it take me ahead?

Do I focus on the one behind,

which is no longer connected,

will it feel abandoned,

should I drag it around?

Or should I focus,

on just putting one step ahead of the other,

not caring what is ahead,

or what I left behind

And just stand firmly on the ground?
