Followed disappearing footsteps in the sand
slipped on rocks wet with morning dew
followed disappearing footsteps in the sand
dreams just out of reach I pursue
almost unlocked the secrets and then
slipped on rocks wet with the morning dew
Still, I climbed again, again, and again
in the park where millions roam
almost unlocked the secrets and then
succumbed to lost soul’s syndrome
Nevertheless I still believe that answers can be found
in the park where millions roam
just a little coaxing, truth holds me spellbound
pursuing the clues of all those before me
I still believe that answers can be found
much as at times I want to flee
I followed disappearing footsteps in the sand
pursuing the clues of all those before me
Followed disappearing footsteps in the sand

There is mystery and answers to be found here within nature both in the park and even among all the people. I think the best answers are found following the footsteps on the beach. Great poem.
