Light footsteps neared the door of his bedroom.

They trembled as the footsteps neared.

The footsteps receded-then neared, and began to falter a little.

The footsteps were nearing the door.

Urgent footsteps neared, the clicking sound not of soft-soled working shoes but of dress shoes.

Out on the beam-bridge my footsteps are nearing Her whose sweet beckoning hastens my tread.

As his footsteps neared, she took a deep breath and tried to calm the fire in her belly.

As footsteps neared us, I pulled my gun out of my pants and prayed that Rachel could hold her nerve.

The crunch of gravel came as footsteps neared.
