Where shoes lay walk the place that claims.
The closest reason they can find.
And answers that have all the names.
Will still be speaking every time.
 
As feet have something on their heart.
Where life may never stop and stare.
While answers that have many parts.
Would still be showing everywhere.
 
When legs may carry something more.
That walks along an endless pace.
To answers that have laid in store.
And giving reasons every place.
 
While hands can hold beyond some reach.
To feel what form might have its stay.
And answers come about to teach.
A grasp that rests in every way.
 
For eyes where always understands.
The sight where measure has been sold.
All answers give so many plans.
That each and every voice may hold.
 
As shoes lay walk their place and time.
The closest reason where they bring.
Where answers lay that all may find.
The face that lives in everything.
