Barefoot

Feet Sunken into grass Illuminated a vibrant green By the piercing rays of the sun Blades Grow colorful With heads of wild flowers Swaying gently in the springtime breeze Moss Acts as a soft pillow Cushioning a fall from grace Springing back from a soft touch Sand Sifts through toes Burning hot With jagged shells and grainy gravel Waves Lap lazily against the shore Throwing an explosion of droplets Through the air Leaves twirl to the ground A quilt blanketing the earth Crunching under every step Ice Freezes on top of the fresh fallen snow A layer of cold Numbing through soles Mud splatters shoes As feet splash through puddles Brown on bronze Concrete Rough and tough Running through the streets Leading nowhere But everywhere Going barefoot.
