Walk Barefoot

Walk barefoot on the sands, my love.
Dip your toes in the water
let the goosebumps run up your shins
pause and look around
at the meeting of the land and sea
the worlds it joins.

Gaze at the mountains
full of mysteries
with wonder and awe
breathing in deep
letting your hair fly in the wind.

Camp in the desert
and look at the stars
the million points of light
in the drape of the night
the coyote howling to the moon.

Trek into forests
the wild jungles, the wooded groves
be silent and witness the canopy of green
listen to the crunch of pine needles
and the distant stream bubbling.

Climb to the highest peaks
and find solitude among the pristine whiteness
interrupted by ancient boulders
at the miracle of the irresistible living with the immovable
Then, even if for just a moment,
walk barefoot, my love.
