The Sole of Your Feet

So small and loving 
As two little sparrows
Vulnerable and powerful 

The only footprint left on your path 
Everywhere you went 
On this earth 
You are 
There 
You have left 
The sole of your feet 

Aby M.

Thanks a lot Thimothy, it means a lot for me. I'm working on other poems dedicated to our feet, hihi. It's a subject to be explored. I think of it in particular in relation to the trees which have their feet too...
