Barefooted Grace
And suddenly, bare-footed and free, I felt alive
The sun above me,
I felt its warmth on my skin
A gentle smile suffused me
Spreading, invigorating
My heart began to dance
I have felt that expansion
That opening
So many times in recent days
The vastness
The space
Where boundaries dissolve
Fairies dance
Energy whirls
As life pirouettes playfully
And I have felt constriction
Fear closing my throat
Chest tightening as
bewilderment swirls,
intoxicating my senses
Open
Close
Widen
Narrow
Connect
Draw back
Ever onward
Life dances and sings
Thrumming, pulsing,
Potently alive
It courses through me
Ever present
Never still
And sometimes
I have the grace to dive in, and shine its light onward
Fe Robinson, 2020
