Barefoot

Can the sole striking, dragging, lifted still be considered weary if just only because allowed to stand and pause This dance, a slide and lilting twist that bends forward in time and scale may numb Skip a beat to rather grow sore and stiff cracking and shifting to adjust to the pressure measured in a smile that carries more weight than the pain shifting the balance for all this moving forward marching is our greatest privilege I'll take these necessary steps

Walking barefoot, transports us to care free days dancing on the shore of the ocean.

To me this poem signifies non compliance to old age and illness, a determination to carry on even when it's hard. Carry on dancing! An inspiring read.
