Ripples Upon the Foreshore of Time

Footprints on the moon,
For Philosophy to resonate over time with each passing tribe.
It must stand alone and weather the ever-shifting sands of time.

It must be concrete, solid in its foundations,
In order to withstand the rigours of intellectual analysis,
While at the same time, it must support the pillars of our understanding
Of the world around us.

It will leave a message that will illuminate the architecture
Of our inner thoughts which in turn will reflect the spirit
Of who we were, as we passed through here once upon a time
As pilgrims on the plains of life’s journey.

It will leave our indelible footprints engraved upon the canyons of time
In the form of the written word.
The tribes that will follow, and time itself,
Will define its empirical value.

 hi Rita and Tony  this is the original piece I wrote 
in what I would call plain speak 
usually while having a  coffee around Toorak 
and sth Yarra between my walks  
the next one of footprints on the moon  is in rhyme 
cheers Noel
