Listening to every heart

In bending over
I found myself today
when I looked down,
bent over,
picked myself up.

Easier to do than most think…

so many look up, around,
keep their eye on the sky
or see the big picture…

me?

I wanted to see where
my feet were planted,
and I found,
when I looked down,
that they were
deeply rooted
in my
needs.

You are right so many are looking up at what may be, when they need to see exactly where they are.

===================

feet? ... Oh yes...those are things I scorched walking thru the fire...
now I fly thru the flame ...
and walk on me lips on broken glass    
and this is a VERY COOL WRITE!!!
your wiser than you know.

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.

Very cool, and deep. Another one who likes to look within. You've got to know yourself, before you can please yourself.
