Grounded

Take your feet
from your shoes,
remove socks
if any.

Place them carefully
on the ground
turn around
and around.

Careful,
not to fall down
because the ground
doesn't ground
in that way

But pressing down
in the grass
connects life
to life
and to you.

And that is where
the grounding starts
and spreads
from a core
solid and supportive
evermore.
