Alchemy of the Sole

what lies beneath

 You have starlight in the creases of your hands

The landscape of a life

Lived

Joyously Working

The wrinkles of time spent with dirt

And laughter

Touching soft cheeks to wipe away the tears the worry

Holding small hands learning how to fall

How to keep getting back up and trying one more step, no matter how unsteady unsure

Every grain on your skin

An echo of the cosmos

Bounding about in ancient canyons

Built by the breath and blood of the earth

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