Mr Insignificant

Footprints on the sand heading out to sea
Passed through rock pools , left on rocks
Show no speed, and yet they hurry
Show no feeling, yet they worry
That time won't wait

Footprints on the sand conform to any size
Age, no barrier to the thrill
Of those who seek contentment in retreat
To where the sky and ocean limits meet
At lands end gate

Footprints on the sand , the maker heading back
Time and tide are in command
of he , who'd linger if he could
At where he'd moments earlier stood
Alas too late

Footprints on the sand , a sign of being there
Have perished without trace
But that they one were there is relevant
To all but Mr insignificant
Who won't debate
