In the absence of fighting, there came a great calm over him
Even the ocean's constant roar ceased its wail upon the beach
For just a moment in the day, he knew what it meant to feel peace
Though he was unsure of how long it would stretch, he seized the moment
For time, like all things, move on from here; Leaving an eroded print on the Earth
The footprints from years past made in the sand, They are but barely recognizable
Not important is it that he leaves some mark on the world, for it too will move on without him
Yet more meaningful it would be to touch the lives of those he comes across
That they may enjoy those things that make him unique
For they too will go with him one day, away from this place
Their footprints too will become washed by the sands of time
But their memories will carry the kindness and peace that they felt within him
He humbles himself knowing that the desires of his heart must wait until his work is done
His hands, they bring his dreams to life, with careful consideration to Another
He knows how to dust off the familiar stains upon him, a trick he learned from falling down
He goes swiftly about the world today, capturing every moment he can as if in a jar
Spring will blossom before the evening sun sets
Carrying him forward endlessly on his journey
The cool breeze brushing upon his face brings him back from his thoughts just now
Thankful and reassured, he stands up and walks on
