Foot Washing

Memory’s tide came sweeping in

and caught me by

surprise. First one

wave washed ashore

and then another, until I

stood knee deep in

images – some

sad, some sweet – all

waves of the past coming to ease

my weariness:

nature’s holy

washing of feet.

    The scene you draw here is vivid to me, with all the poignancy of waves rising, falling, and receding as a cleansing tide rolls in. Thank you, Joan.
