A Soft Tread in Soft Sand> <figcaption><i>A Soft Tread in Soft Sand <b>Source:</b> Pixabay.com</i></figcaption> </figure> <p>At first, skelter, pell-mell plunge of foot.<br /> Sinking into ooze, splattering mud about.<br /> Heavy foot - surging, clambering, wanting climax and fruition.<br /> Leaving a footprint trail, bogged in mud.<br /> A legacy of heavy haste.</p> <p>Tread softly now the rush has quelled.<br /> With steps more measured, gait of purpose.<br /> With no footprints left to scar desire.<br /> With lightness of touch, absorbing rebound.<br /> With steps adroit, patient, poised, balanced.</p> <p>Time has slowed,<br /> So, tread softly now.</p> <br><br> <script async src=
