Footprints in the Dust is a panorama of beautiful, insightful poetry, reflections of an inner journey progressing from parched and questioning beginnings through the sweet refreshing waters of change to a final homecoming. Grouped into three sections, the poems represent the beginning of a journey, a significant change of direction and the end of the journey. These poems, written from the heart, touch life at different points. They range from simple joy to deep anguish, every one thought provoking. Read them slowly, savoring each line in itself. As you dip into the pages, extract only one or two but return frequently. They should be read daily. You will find they nourish your soul. Footprints in the Dust could become a classic in this exclusive genre
