Footprints - the tiny steps

...the steps are tiny, 
Day so gloomy
Fear over-shadowed the path ahead.

A branch so low with fruits laden,
Mirage pleases' the eye not the soul.
Landscapes drift 
But I stood still,
The tiny steps moved ahead.

Gruesome winds blew,
Filled the airs with dismay.
Soothsayer words I remember
Believe not whatever they say.

In the twilight
I walked miles,
The steps so tiny yet so mighty - 
Refrained from the dangers ahead.

All eyes on the tiny steps 
Full of scorn and contempt, 
With head bowed low
The tiny ones marched ahead. 

Eluding the shyness,
Suppressing a tear
A heart throbbing prominent,
Trailing the tiny steps.

Time subdued the valor
Pride vanquished against age,
History remembered nothing
But the tiny footprints that made their way...
