Memories

Ywerah Theophyl

Epic
I miss running barefoot
Not minding the thornes
Leave alone nails
I just miss the warmth of sand
I miss the massage
My ancestors would give with stones

I miss the drawings
They would engrave with the nails
So deep
That I would yell  and scream for help

I miss the caress
The cold grass would offer
My feet would go numb
But I will surely
Do the same thing the following day
Walk barefoot
