Impressions

Elfrida De Renne Barrow

I FEEL the sands of time

Crunch beneath my feet—

Out on the open road

Or in the narrow street.

And when my heart is glad

My foot-prints are light,

Tracing faintly the sands

That glitter cool and white.

But when my soul is sad

Heavy sinks my tread—

Deep furrows in the dank

Dark sands where lie the dead.
