Rice Paper – v2

What if our feet were painted
covered in printers ink
what if our journey
our walk of faith, of life,
was written over rice paper

Our feet leaving prints
each one living characters
as if written by a stylus
bolder with our faith
what if we left a mark
permanent in time

Marks left forever
like dinosaur tracks
for someone to read
in some distant future
the words written
written on the rice paper
the pages of our lives
