Waltz Footprints in Snow / Rose Petals in a Dark Room by Michael Lee Johnson

Waltz Footprints in Snow 

Care to dance a new waltz renew,

 

or drift back

to those old vintage footprints−

 

waltz with me

footprints in snow

fog covering over old snow.

 

Rose Petals in a Dark Room

 

I’m but a poet of this ministry,

 

rose petals in a dark room fall.

Everyone’s life is a conflict.

 

But mine is mastery of light and neon night

and I walk behind

these footsteps of no one.
