Back in the day, we had a section of our site called “Acpressions”. These featured poetry and verse, both funny and serious, along with photographs and artwork which could be shared with others. Time and change have made this part of our site obsolete, but we wanted to preserve of the best of Acpressions so they’d not be lost in some dusty old corner and forgotten. Today, we’re featuring a poem by TC called “Footprints in the Snow”. We hope you enjoy and share it with your friends.
Footprints in the Snow
What shy and pale darkness drifts down upon this land?
Between the seasons changing, a quiet, silent hand.
The gift of life pervading the death that does surround
The whiteness of the morning and the silence all around.I can see the footprints, the ones I’ve left behind;
A long and winding trail of steps that destiny designed.
A trail of tears and laughter, of sun and shadows deep,
Of promises I’ve broken and ones I’ve yet to keep.I shall not let this sadness nor lost love set my course;
Or base the steps I’ve yet to take on passion or remorse.
My mind still stained with savage pain of things that cannot be;
Of gentle hours and sweet snow showers and nights upon the sea.And though today I walk away from things familiar too,
I’ll make new footprints in the snow, where once the flowers grew;
Guided by a dream unseen; a dream that will not die,
My footprints winding through the snow; beneath a twilight sky.

Awesome! TC you truly have a gift!
TC what a great poem, you are so talented. Loved it and sure will mail it to a few of my friends.
I have been a member since the beautiful note paper , and have most of all loved all you so called rants. I think I have then all, you sound like a wonderful person. I love you from here!!
Ten minutes ago I received word of my dearest friend’s passing, feeling indescribable anguish and compassion for her husband of fifty years. Two minutes ago I found your wonderful poem….somehow artfully created many years ago and revisited for just this moment. Our Creator brings comfort in so many ways…. Thank you. Your gift is very much appreciated.
I always enjoy reading all of your stories, poems. You are so talented, and hope you would one day publish them to sell. You could fill a few books by now. Thanks, you made my day!
TC, you are truly gifted my friend. Thank you.
I can see the footprints, the ones I’ve left behind;
A long and winding trail of steps that destiny designed.
These two lines tell the reader all of what is written…. this troubles me of the sadness in their words.
I agree with some here you should have have these published! You have an awesome talent and could get paid for it for others sure would enjoy what you write 🙂 One reason books are made so others can benefit from them.
I loved the Acpressions. Miss them.
