Barefoot While walking through the grass barefoot yesterday, I thought about how tender footed and tender hearted I was. I became disheartened. Then I thought of all I would miss if I always wore shoes and if there was a feeling of indifference around my heart. I am glad to be who I am, where I am, and as I am. I shall walk barefoot often And I shall open my heart to others, For me this is living. Throw your heart out in front of you |

Well... I've walked barefoot in the grasses of Michigan for the past few weeks... I'm glad I did, because shoes have a way of masking our senses... But... I surely was glad I had shoes on when I met that snake..!! Nice poem, shadow - I like your philosophy..  |

yes, the idea of hiding/covering my heart is more frightening to me, than having my heart broke. I love this  |

Yes, being vulnerable is opening oneself to others. Wonderful poem. Now I'm going to look for my Barefoot poem and post it. |

Thank you Sy, I decided no facades needed. Thank you Mark, It's time for me to step up to the plate. Thanks Nan, they're just harmless Gardener snakes. They only bite a bit. Thank you Titia, that was cute. Thanks Martie,I guess I've tryed walking in other mens shoes and they don't fit. Yes Jwesley, I've found self pride. Thanks Jwesley, I've also found myself washing my feet in a pool of water but they came out refreshed. Thanks SEA, I actually felt shame for a long time, not anymore though and my family still respects me. Thank you Virginia, some people say why do you trust people so much? I say because that's what loves based on. I'd love to read your poem. Throw your heart out in front of you |
