Nature

Published by

on

I have the urge

to merge

all my senses

with nature.

To dig in deeply

with my fingers

into the moist

black soil

and feel

the grounded energy,

which brings all to life.

I crave to dive

into clear water,

rinse away

all my sins,

and be reborn

with a new life.

I lust after fire

to be burned

by its fiery vitality,

which keeps me

running and growing

all through life.

I desire the air

to whirl me up

high to the sky

like a lofty seed

and strongly blow

me far away,

travel

to a different world,

and plant a new life.

    Beautiful flow, Vaso 🌱 I really like how you let each element—soil, water, fire, and air—carry its own craving.

    It feels like a full-bodied surrender to nature!

    Much love,
    David

        would you mind if I share this piece as a reblog at some point in the future, Vaso?
