Received like a lover.

Received like a Lover.

My feet asked to be let out of the shoes,
and once free, softened into the Earth
with a barely audible sigh.

The Earth held my feet 
with the thrill 
of a long desired touch.


On the face of my feet
the Earth cupped me,
gazing into my sole,
my soul,


Listening,
Remembering, 
She welcomed me home.
"Prodigal daughter." she whispered.


Then she released me
and waited
while i took
my next step.
