Footprints in the sand!
Symbols of out stubborn pride
Wind, air, time and tide
Erode our footsteps in time
Still we march! Strong, proud!!!!!!!!!
I left my footprint
Firmly planted upon earth
Wind raged. It moved not!!!!!!!!
Water-kissed footsteps
Gently fade in space and time
Carve your footprints deep!!!!!!!!
Footsteps seared in pain
Bodies writhe in agony
Fire....have mercy!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoaaa, this was soooo deep! So powerful! I felt all the emotions you've put in between the lines! This was brilliant!
Very moving and beautifully written! Loved that the haiku structure did not keep this from flowing so well :)
Beautiful piece. Well done.
Very good and meaningful. It's amazing how so few words can be filled with so much depth.
The foot print you leave here with you work is so amazing and inspiring!
