I knew this man
of mirth and dust--
I knew him--
I gave him my trust.

Upon the screen
of lidded eye
within a dream
I realized...

He bent before me,
at my feet,
washed the sand
and eased the heat.

He washed my feet
while others gasped.
He dried them
with his robe as rag.

I did not want this--
looked away.
He smiled.
He did it anyway.

Implications
too profound--
a bathe of leg
treds holy ground...

I knew I should
reciprocate--
but cringed a pause
of hesitate.

I knew his feet
wore grains of sand.
A piece of earth
from every land.

I knew his sandals
wore my miles...
Ashamed, I looked.
I saw him smile.

And then he laughed
in sheer delight...
as though I were
a little child.

As though I had
done something cute...
He laughed, with love--
living proof.

ahhh, the epitome of devotion...it must be amusing to have someone washing your feet, even in your dreams...i can be cynical and wonder if you are power-hungry though..heehee

A religious dream? As you know, I can 'read you' in those dreams. I enjoyed this one...told me a lot about you.

Can I have your dreams? Mine are so boring usually that I'd have to lie to take part in this challenge. Hmm, maybe I will. Maybe I will.

oh my, Serenity!!! What a DREAM!!!!
I guess it's a really incredible feeling having someone wash your feet huh.
It would be even better if that one is a guy. :P

YAY!!! Oh Karen, this is wonderful, sweet friend, it is always those simple smiles and laughs and hugs that make dreams living proof to us all and how we are convinced they are more than just a movie in our minds! (kiss on cheek) Wow, I want to try this challenge too, it sounds like so much fun, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
