Two feet above the ground

Out of the shadows of time
you face me
in the world that is mine

You are not yet for me to see
still your presence
send my two feet above the ground

Human meeting human
Holiness meeting holiness
God's two feet on the ground

I get the impression that this poem refers to God placing humans on Earth in order to love one another ... just one of many interprations, I like it! Emotion is left aside on this poem, and it get's straight to the point but not in simple terms, which is one of the reasons I enjoyed the read so much. Keep writing!:)

As your poems do, this gently captures what it means to love. You make it sound so easy (to love, that is).
