Pebbles and Dust

Hats off to the
Poets and Painters
Who help us see
the Beauty

in even the
small,
ordinary
pebble
lodged
between the
soles of
Your foot and
Your sandal.

It’s a gift
to know how
to find
beauty
even there.

But what of
the dust
beneath
Your sandal?

From which,
an ancient penman
wrote,
The Creator
formed
Your frame
and blew
Life
into it.

The Truth
in this bit
of fancy
is this:

Even dust
beneath
Your feet
bears more
than Beauty.

All That Is
touched by
the Breath of
The Divine

must also be
called
Beloved.
