Listen to poem:

Footfalls of Fate Sidestepped Shunned

Heard enough 
   to know where this can lead.
Footfalls poised to step 
   in footprints etched by fate,
   are caught in flight, 
   nudged to sidestep shunned.
A foot-plant re-direction
   on a clean slate.
Making fresh footprints, 
   striven silently in the sand.
