Steps II (A Triolet)
By Michael T Smith

For still our steps move on and on,
Marching to our wayward heartbeats,
Keeping the tempo of the sun --
For still our steps move on and on
Until the brittle break of dawn  
Taking the filth off the streets,
For still our steps move on and on,
Marching to our wayward heartbeats.
