Walking meditation

I would like to be the sand

somehow liquid and solid

at the same time

able to absorb the water

and still stay solid

beneath bare feet

soft and movable

with the strength

of ten million rocks

yet never rigid or fixed

inspiring visions

of mermaids and castles

radiating warmth from the sun

reflecting its light

with a wink of magic

I like how it sticks with you

months after you've left the beach

there it is, still in your shoe

reminding you of that day

where the whole world

was at peace

and heaven was within reach

of your outstretched toes
