I always loved walking around bare feet, would choose that whenever I could,
Would forget wearing slippers at home, still do.
Only after 27 years of existence did it strike me!
I love the feeling of my earth beneath this skin,
I love the strong firm hold of the ground, how it awakens my pores.
The more I touch this ground, the more I feel one with the soil,
How my leg is always held by gravity,
how it always taught me about the illusion of freedom!
