Naked Abundance
by Mihirini de Zoysa
“I will open wide my eyes
so that I will not miss
the morning sun
I will gently brush my fingers so that I may touch
the dew tip grass
I will walk barefoot
so that I may find root
on the earth that cradles me
I will look up to the sky
so that I may show my face to the cosmos that holds me
I will uncover naked my body so that I may feel
every sensation of love
I will laugh out loud so that my joy will be unbridled in the world
I will open my heart
so that love will abound within and without
I will lay bare my soul so that the world will know me intimately”
