Nature in the Palm of My Hand
I like to watch her earthen skin swell
 Sweetly she rises in her bounty
 Two mountain peaks give way in slumber
 Her heart beat like a small drum
 Pushing onward the beat of the rivers
 So vast that flow throughout her body
 Her hair is like soil 
 Fertile enough to hold my gaze
 
 The sun has drifted in the ocean
 The ocean of her eyes
 Between the mountain peaks
 Shining in a dazzling green
 To the eclipse in the very center
 Of her core
 Her hands crease with folds
 As deep as canyons I wander in them
 Yet her skin is soft like grass
 
 Her lips speak my name
 Sweetly as the sound of rain
 Her breathe the living wind
 Her kisses drown me
 I am lost in the jungle of her words
 The river I taste
 The trees I hold still to her sides
 Her dainty legs are that of mushrooms
 Easy to break 
 Hard to hurt
 I sweep her into my embrace
 She melts into me like an age old glacier
 I find myself in love
 She is the reincarnation
 Of that which has uplifted me through the years
 She is nature in the palm of my hand
