What Love Looks Like

Walk with me, he said
I want to show you what love looks like

We walked on the sand
till the bottoms of my soles burned

We walked across small stones and
jaggered rock

The day moved on and we
came upon a large hill

He began to climb
at the top he reached down
helping me on the last of our journey

The sun was beginning to
dwindle below the horizon

As if the eye of God
was putting the day to rest

My feet were aching and my body
was tired

He reached down and massaged
the bottom of my foot
I could feel the power of
tenderness in his touch

Fixed to my eyes, he said

"Into our lives comes a thousand
chances to reach out to someone,
most of us never see the chance.
I hold your tender sole in my hands,
committing to you,
giving you as much comfort and compassion
as you need.
In this scared place,
in the eye of God
is what love looks like."

softly penned and touching...

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art
