it's been a while since i posted. Here we go.
I hear the earth breathe,
It sighs with a longing…
I feel its meat in my hands,
Moist and rich,
I wiggle my toes, saying hello to the worms
And see the water floating above
From a gentle rain.
I open my mouth as a drop
Falls happily down
I listen to the sound…listen
The crackle of a seed bursting to a rose
Seeing the faint glimmer of fallen snow
My breathe rises above me like a chimney
Full of smoke.
My head rests on a lowly tree root,
That curls around my neck-

"Because I could not stop for Death --
He kindly stopped for me --
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality."
-Emily Dickinson, Because I Could Not Stop For Death
