Let Me Leave a Trail

Let me leave a trail 
of wildflowers 
where I’ve walked, 
so they may bloom
when I am gone.

Let my footprints 
leave an imprint 
not on the earth 
but in the hearts 
of those whose paths I crossed.

I’ll scatter starlight 
in my wake 
like breadcrumbs 
leading the way back 
to wonderment.

Build an altar 
to the quiet moments 
holier than any cathedral, 
that space between 
inhale and exhale.

Let every word 
be a seed taking root, 
a garden growing 
wild and unrestrained 
in the soil of souls.
