Beach… Gneiss… Feet…
By: Verla J. Klassen
Shoreview, Minnesota
Thriving while reviving
So much more than surviving
As Chi revitalizing
Beginning
With T’ai Chi Chih
And Seijaku
Leading from the tan t’ien
Grounding
In the soles
Of my feet
While walking
The Pacific beach
During Rocking Motion
While standing barefoot
On Morganite Gneiss
An ancient millennia old rock
Found in Minnesota
While peering
Into the cerulean sky
Drinking in its beauty
While striding
Down a path
Between giant pine
While skirting a nearby lake
Up a trail
Awestruck
By the elegant white swans
Swimming down the stream
Earth’s energy
Coursing through being
Entering
Through the soles
Of my feet
