FEET


Setting out on life's journey,
I knew nothing of YOUR FEET.

Loveliness became quicksand, then
You let me grab YOUR FEET.

Touchstone of Existence,
All life springs from YOUR FEET.

World is all just flux of water.
Solid ground? YOUR FEET.

In joy, in grief, the same prescription—
Hold on to YOUR FEET.

All is but a passing dream,
All except YOUR FEET.

Child's body becomes old man's,
All that stays the same? YOUR FEET.

Maya's drug is powerful!
Dive back to YOUR FEET!

Prostrate in surrender, ah,
New life from YOUR FEET.

My feet must walk this journey.
As important, though? YOUR FEET.
