Like whispers on the rice paper – v3

Our lives, our journey
a moment, a breath
walking on stepping stones
some of them hidden
under sands of time
ripples under the surface
swirling waters, ashes,
the chaos, the world

Our steps like whispers on rice paper
leaving faint impressions
or more boldly, vivid
footprints, cracks, sharp edges
sometimes even tears in the seams
marks on the path
but we are journeying forward together
We are following our Lord
