I have a vision, of footsteps
long ago's seeming faded
now beckoning, to be retraced
with a trembling but steady finger
What If I were to,
tomorrow, start anew
by going back in time
and re-place myself, first

Fragmentary pondering
While pondering things beyond my ken, perhaps too much, the following lines came to me. For now it's just a fragment, but I may some day soon expand on it.

Back to the future to put straight whatever we did wrong...short but thought-provoking poem. thanks.
Agree with Jena,
That was how I saw this poem too. Birds of the same feathers? LOL.
Then it made me ask a few questions:
What was it you wanted to correct from the past?
Are you risking the present by going to the past? I forgot the name of that "paradox."
I guess we'll never know until the poem expands.
Great work Francis!

I like this as-is, actually.
@Jena I reworked it a little, but sometimes short is what's called for :).
@Zorlone I decided to keep it a bit ambiguous, so the reader can interpret it as they will.
@Susan I made a few changes, but mostly kept it as is.
