Lotus Feet

He in unafraid of getting His feet wet
He walks proudly on the bare earth
Always at one with all
That sprung from Him.

One day His castle will return
To the wet nether lands,
The earth cleansed of those
That dared confront his chariot.

But today the sky will pour out its blessings
And with us He will walk
Not to lull us back to safety
Into the placental swamp.

Be we will chant
His True Name, and say:
“He is my only Friend,
And He will guide me through”

And then He will crouch, and pick up
Mud sanctified by the Lotus Feet
And my forehead He will smear
With the rainbow-vermilion.
