Alchemy of the Sole

what lies beneath

 After a morning of weeping

When I meltdown

Let me melt completely

To join in the ocean of all

May my spine become the seaweeds and jellyfish

Pulsing and rippling in the currents

May the tears flow so that the sting of salt lessens

So fully that the rivers on my cheeks feel like coming home

Wash the bitter thorns with the honey I put away for the rainy day

My being need not be a hurricane any more

Everything has been thoroughly smashed and drenched

Let the sun peak in the cracks of my caged heart

"Feet retain the memories of the many paths our soul has trailed on earth and beyond through our previous life times." ~W. Zchutz
