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”
