Toes in the Stream

Kauai, Hawaii

 

I have wondered often                                                            Clothing hangs not

Now where you walk,                                                            On your new body

For I know you do,                                                                Colors need no

Without pain,                                                                          Fine stitchery

Now in Joy,                                                                             To accent the

Streaming,                                                                              Brandishing

Smiling                                                                                    Lamp you

Forever                                                                                   Now

In bliss                                                                                    Are

 

You tell me don’t worry                                                         I see you frolic, mindful of

You get by finely now                                                          No stares from the world

Not on your own                                                                    Taking your strides

But in your home                                                                   In deliberate moves

By so many –                                                                           That touch only

Occupied…                                                                               Now slightly but

Others                                                                                        with oh such

With                                                                                          Intentional

You!                                                                                           Care

 

Toes in water                                                                          Tickled by dew drops

On feet strong                                                                      Of the radiant dawn

Can hold now                                                                       Beading your brow

Your weight                                                                            And kissing your  

In Golden                                                                                Toes that play

Spirit Joy                                                                                In the splash

Souled in                                                                                 And the Joy

Dreams                                                                                   Of the One

Together                                                                                 Now…You
