Steps in the Sand

Upon the cosmic shore I tread,
Leaving behind steps in silvery sand,
A path that lingers, broad and dread,
Under the starlit sky so grand.

Each grain, a moment in the vast expanse of time,
A story whispered in the ear of night,
Where dreams and reality intertwine,
Guided by the pale moonlight.

With every step, a universe blooms,
In the dark void, new worlds ignite,
Among these celestial plumes,
My heart finds solace in their sight.

But look! As dawn's fingers caress the dark,
The sand, the steps, start to fade away,
Yet, within me, there sparks,
A desire to roam, a longing to stay.

In these ephemeral steps I see,
The journey of a soul, wild and free,
Connected to the cosmos, eternally,
A wanderer amidst the galaxy.

So here I stand, at the edge of night,
Watching my steps in the sand take flight,
Embracing the universe, vast and bright,
Forever a part of this glorious sight.
