People are struggling to live
Farms with green grass roof
An old-fashioned mower

Longing and nostalgia
My happy childhood
As a balm for the...

Upon his blameless feet
Even as he dance and play about them

Toxic and perilous smoke are authority
Outside his naive lungs

Blood sprinkles and routine metal shards 
Within his innocent hands
Presently, as he claps to the...

Race with the wind, step up higher
Higher than blues of a sky;
Through an airspeed, mile-long flight 
Chase a smooth or rugged pace,
Wings on feet, be the desire.

I push my feet blissfully 
into smooth sun-kissed grains of sand.
Taking my feet abruptly from their fun,
 down to the shore I run.
Warm briny sea caresses them; 
they splash like happy children....

At the feet of the Master there sat a disciple,
Looking straight to the eyes, learning the truth what lies;
Oh! The word from the Master where none can give,
The wisdom that discern, with the truth to live;
A teacher is he that show the right path for...

so lovely , yet wearied and worried,
as she looks away with quiet terror

        from the sight of the faintest wrinkles 
        at the corners of her eyes in the mirror;

At your feet I kneel on this day. I come to
ask you my Lord, to please forgive my 
sins and give healing to my pain.

What My Day Was Like And Why My Feet Are Sore

I walk with lead bricks tied to my feet, 
down this trail into oblivion.
gasping at the light, the beams 
spinning and from thin air
