by Dakota Wint (Author) Barefoot Like The Earth is the poetry of spiritual awakening, the human journey, and the mystery of the universe.

Quotes from the book "Space is a cemetery Where everything is alive and this is the afterlife of the stars The sun is an egg that'll hatch into a billion people And those people will play music and pick flowers they will become lovers, they will dance around fires, eat strange plants, and paint on rocks and some moon with its big bald head and pinhole friends will be there for it all" - Dakota Wint "Poseidon is reluctant but not dead There's an ocean sleeping inside of your mouth Calm storms, how they are brewing Something is coming one day We all know it But pretend not to You are happening, Right now Right this second, You are happening and it is beautiful." - Dakota Wint "I have become wood and fire and ashes are not the end" - Dakota Wint Number of Pages: 166 Dimensions: 0.35 x 8 x 5 IN Publication Date: December 19, 2022
