I love the opening. Perhaps it is my mirror neurons but the phrase "foot massage" triggered a delightfully sensual anticipatory tingle up my spine. Very nice onomatopoeia creates a vivid sensory image to concretize the setting. You've conjured a natural spa.
As is well known self massage is never as relieving as one given by someone else, so I think I will save this poem up for next time my feet are weary and sore, and enjoy the effect it has on me.
So sensual!
great
been there
and done that

Thanks Sean for the massage!

Oh how I'd love to stand in a creek and let the water give me a foot massage! Lovely, Sean.
