Barefoot to the Graveyard

"Where . . . have all the flowers gone? We have picked them. . . every one."
When will we learn ?

Scales of bells call me to temple,
I leave my shoes and walk
barefoot to the graveyards
now empty. . .covered.. . .
in shame
I carry all the flowers. . .
back. . . each. . . and. . . every. . . one.

upon barren fields
rain falls and falls and . . .a baby cries out

When you enter the temple you remove your shoes. This is symbolic of leaving the outer world behind. The work of the temple is rich in symbolism, as symbolism is the language of spirit. By removing the shoes the souls of the feet are revealed and the revealing of the soul is the purpose of coming to the temple.
