Remove all layers of itchy clothings and protective rubber shoes
that we may be well grounded
to roll around in clay and mud as children at play,
wiggle our bare toes among the green grasses,
walk bare feet along the salty shores and
celebrate our naked heritage – wee!
Remove all old programming of opinions and prejudices
that we may be cleared minded
to breathe the fresh outdoor air,
fill our lungs with fragrant flowers,
oxygenate our memories of pine needled forest and
exhale the precious scent left by skunks – bad boy!
Remove all traces of sludge and matter
that we may be baptized
to drink fresh clean water,
flush our systems of any toxins,
shower our current five senses with hot and cold and
swim far away from the babbling brooks of noise – hum!
Remove all attachments of wants and needs
that we may be renewed
to warm our old bones by the fire,
unify the true nature of Darkness – the vessel of the Light,
tan our hides under colorful rays of the Sun and
fill once again our hollow shells with Love – ah!
First attempt at combining poem and prose (hence prosetry?) with of four, six-lined stanzas in free-verse with four elemental examples. Tried running the sentences together but that looked too jumbled and hard to read — yup.
