Footsteps

By: Joan Valerie Oreilly

Although I walk alone
through the dark shadows of the night,
I can feel the darkness of the night
upon my own face and feel the emptiness
of the night within my own heart.

The quietness of the cold sidewalks
becomes filled with the echoes
of my own footsteps.
And, yet, there is a feeling of calm
and peacefulness within my heart,
for sharing the dark of the night
somewhere... is you.
