First Footprints

The human journey from childhood to the early middle years begins in the cradle and molds the person you become. You evolve from memories of places, family and friends, the angst of adolescence, first love and a glimpse of the future. You emerge in the adult years of work and play, love and loss, creating your own family and your place in the world. Open these pages and travel through a poetic world that will make you laugh and cry, smile and sigh as you follow the first footprints of life.
HIGH SCHOOL DREAMSCAPE
Paradise or purgatory
Paradox and perfidy
Acne and angst
Agony and ecstasy

Reduced to nothingness
by selective memory and age

Rendered meaningless
by time and experience

Yet lingering in the soul,
bundles of unhealed wounds
