These Red Soles sustain me
Standing as they do above,
Beyond the reach of mind
Soothing it down to size and smoothing
A path for my soul to rise
Awakening the heart.
Red Soles resting above heart-mind,
Lotus textured, firm and sweet
Like Mother Earth.
Your Feet
Unfold the petals of the heart
Nourishing the palms of hands
While softening our eyes.
What merit in our other lives
Has won us such reward complete
That nothing was required of us
Except to hold
This sense of destiny
This longing unrequited
For Your Feet?
Stumbling in our blindness
Through the darkest time
Seeking to quench our fire
We did not expect to find
Such
Unfathomable kindness
And one-ness in redness surrounded
As in the beginning
Forever at rest
At the Feet of our Mother.
