Footsteps

Soft footsteps on the back of the mind,
from one whose kind
heart beats in rhythm and tempo with yours
opens doors.... 
Friendship blooms, flourishes, triumphs, endures
with intensity and luster
to gather and cluster and grow inside.
Hearts, flexible and ever-young, swell and glow
with ebb and flow,
and so, as love's lights show,
we slow..... the footsteps..... on the back of the mind.
