footsteps

most of us stumble through life
footstep after footstep
with only the shifting of the sand
to keep us from realizing
we are walking in circles.  

if the great mysteries of life were revealed to us
would we be amazed?
humbled?
or would we blink and shrug
and continue to stumble
footstep after footstep
until the sand swallows us...
