I took my sandals off

i took my sandals off
and i touched the walls
thanking You for Your presence
and asking Your protection
loving affection
and timeless resurrection

the sea side has become more brilliant white
than the blue i am used to, i want
to gather it in my arms
by the loadful
and hold it
till it
bolted
back
to its
home
and i could
wander with it through
that windy way that makes all men
gave, and save face, but it's through
the narrows one must trace light's eyes,
not blinking, but hiding until only those
with sight can see the Ghost behind all the noise.
