    And then the sea came upon that sand and washed over our past prints but thankfully we can retain those lovely days within our memories.

    Maybe this footsteps stay there forever, hidden to the eyes, but silent witnesses of gone by times.

    You are a perfect haiku maker, BB!

      What's sweet is hard to erase. Yup, who knows the footsteps remain no matter how many times tide washes over it. It can still be felt and seen by the heart.

      Thank you so much for your compliment, Od. :)
