Digital Footprints
4 min readNov 17, 2023
Can’t go back,
the only path carves forward
under a tapestry of darkening clouds,
yet, there are stairs ascending too.
Steady and unhurried,
cradled in the arms of idleness,
comforted by the stillness,
no more quests, just existing in the embrace.
Absorbing the moment as it unfolds,
witnessing the grand opera of humanity,
tales of atrocities broadcasted,
heartbreaks dissected
in the unforgiving light of real-time.
In this echo of events
Wavering between an observer and a reluctant participant,
a silhouette cast against the harsh truths,
my reflection fractured in the world's mirror.
Here, footsteps vanish on digital terrain,
yet their weight anchors deep
within the soul’s hidden ledger,
etching invisible marks.
In the uproar, I embark on a silent odyssey,
yearning for a fragment of tranquility
amidst the discord of human contradictions,
seeking a peace harbor in the storm.
Yet, we persist,
bearing the gravity of awareness,
discovering refuge in subtle gestures
of compassion, of empathy.
Navigating this maze of shadows and luminescence,
each twist exposes a new aspect
of the same intricate truth,
all of us adrift,
yet in our search, we find our paths
.
