Bare Feet
Peer up at the puddle from underneath
Do you see the bottom of my pretty feet?
Look straight up at a reflection displayed
Of me, my life, and time relayed
ย
I wiggle my toes, see the deed
Does this action not cause disbelief?
It ripples the image, swirls it and sways
Causing it to shift, warp and haze
ย
It is a long way up from my toes to my knees
Longer still to my eyes that perceive
If you pass through to what is above
You would not see me that is mirrored below
ย
A simple girl really much like all the rest
With goals, dreams, and a life thatโs blessed
I bare my feet freely for all to see
But all I share really is a patch of me
ย
My soul is hidden behind this display
My toes I will wiggle as I pass your way
My feet tread shallow in the puddles I touch
Believe what you will of the reflection I conduct
ย
But do not believe youโve caught the whole view
Of the one whose bare feet have passed, gone through
For what is reflected is a glimpse at best
My bare feet are a sample, I keep all the rest

great write, Rebecca, and thanks for sharing your feet at least with your fans...ย love the construction, thoughtful, measured approach you take on a fascinating topic thatย brings to mind a line from an Elton John song, Don't let the sun go down on me; about allowing just a fragment of yourself to wander free....poetry is at times the sharing of your soul; intentionally or unintentionally, lol....not sure how much 'control' a ย poet has over that, even in a pure fantasy write, something of the poet still comes out that the reader will pick up, in my opinion....I like this write a lot, don't get me wrong, it's encouraging to see a poet have diversity.... and thisย subject has always fascinated me, so great reading, thank you for the post,ย have great day
You are welcome Christopher and thank you. I agree with you about the poet being in the poetry. It is difficult to disassociate when creating. This was a fun write. So glad you liked it. :) Hugs, Rebecca

Rebecca, A great write. Conveying or trying to convey childrens thoughts is an artform in itself, so I truly loved this piece.
