Sometimes we need to walk barefoot
To discover who we really are
We can try on the shoes of others
But they pinch badly leaving a scar

Strip away the soles of leather
They dull sensation too much
Walk a mile as you were created
Stepping ready for freedom's touch

Feel the cool blades of green
bend and unite you with earth
Sharp stones scratching flesh
Reminders of how life can hurt

Walk barefoot through dry sands
Warmed by the afternoon sun
To experience the softness of nature
Shifting grains like time soon gone

Walk in  the powdery snowfall
Pause for a while if you choose
Feel ice grip your flesh and  bone
Find mortality without your shoes

Take a stroll down to a river
Leave your cares with footprints behind
Then dangle your toes in the water
Barefoot liberty is what you will find

(smiles) Oh June, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I believe God created us to walk the world barefoot, because he didn't create shoes or sandals, and I grew up as a country boy loving to run in the grass and dirt without shoes and though I live in the suburbs now, I never wear shoes hardly, just sandals with my heels out! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet June, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

June,
This naked poetic journey is delightful! I'll have to take your word for it though cause I'm a tender foot, LOL.

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has passed
Playful shadows dance
