Bare Feet I wear no pads upon my feet For I am not of the elite I touch the ground on all I poll And ask forgiveness as I stroll. I sense the soul in every mass Alas, I even sense the crass. My feet are hands with which I feel They are the stamps upon the seal. I try my best to reach my goal And vent all treasures to my soul. I play the game of being born Although my feet are being torn It is our way to know our place? Know each figment and its grace. Be aware of all that’s his? Be as one with all that is So leave your naked feet to run And you will be with earth as one. |

Seymour darling boy this is absolutely utterly perfect, always your writing and message are pure poetic wonder, this morning your words really settle within my heart. Alas, I even sense the crass. My feet are hands with which I feel They are the stamps upon the seal. I try my best to reach my goal And vent all treasures to my soul. I play the game of being born Although my feet are being torn It is our way to know our place? Know each figment and its grace You always write with starlight, on occasion like this morning, you manage to reveal the great truths that we all need to know to enable us to walk through our lives. Thank you for this amazing and wonderful poem this morning, it is something really special. Of course I love it utterly utterly, perfect writing oh Sultan of the golden word. This is really perfect    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Ahhh, as Moses was commanded, as he stood near the burning bush, "Take off your shoes, you are standing on Holy Ground." Good poem! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

So leave your naked feet to run And you will be with earth as one. Ooh, I love this philosophy, Sy... I only wear shoes when I am forced to do so, and I have many callouses to show for it.  ~ I loved the poem!Lyra |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh my gosh, I have missed your wonderful words sooooo much, sweet friend, this reminded me of "Washing The Feet", the story of the Good Samaritian, where if we tread barefoot He will kindly wahs our feet and set us on our ways replenished! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

When I walk through your words I always seem to find small glimpses of myself, but, of course you write it so much more eloquently. I love this, I really do, it's a keeper It's good to read you again m'friend, you brought this theme to life so well!Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

I remember long ago summer days when my feet only saw shoes for trips to church and to town... now my tender tootsies have to hippy hop over that same ground... the callouses that shed the stickers are long gone, traded in for corns and other ailments. *G* (But it's worth thorns and stone bruises just to see the look on my sister's face when she bellows at her kids to "get some shoes on" and then sees who's leading the barefoot parade. LOL) I love this, Seymour... both for its own excellence and the memories it invoked. *S* |

Sey, this has many thinking moments in it... perhaps the best message, for me at least, is the part simplicity plays in our lives: the bare feet we walk with, if we dare not just a nature write, no. no...*s* tSR |
