Barefoot

BAREFOOT

Literally : shoeless
We think of a thief
Caught flat-footed on the act.
Like Colton Harris-Moore
Who was known as a “Barefoot Bandit”

Barefoot has other interpretations
It can mean young
Having an inexperienced, unadulterated , pristine mind
Possessing triple ‘V’ vision, vim and vigor.

But at times
A child/man of poor social standing
May walk barefooted
Increasing deadly risks of infection.

To me:
Barefootin’ as well as cavorting in the sand
Hand in hand with a love one
My pet, Bugsy, running, following  behind
Are tender memories tattoed in my heart and mind.

Yes, the simple things in life also ground us, beautiful thoughts you have here, Dalila and thank you so much for passing by my writes-- and heehee so nice of you to picture me in that setting, but nope-- that painting by Amorsolo is actually displayed at the GSIS Museum, in fact I saw it just yesterday-- and I was so happy to view it-- tiramisu is a cold Italian dessert made with lady fingers dipped in coffee with a cream cheese layer-- mmm :) enjoy your day :)
