My rage and sorrow hasten

And so I decided to go out

Perhaps the Earth will soothe me

The steady breeze gently caresses me

The sun shines brightly against my aged skin bringing me back to my youth

The timid birds and babbling squirrels keep me company listening to my problems

I feel the moist soil under my feet

The pressure that kept me down slowly erupts and I become free

The Earth is a majestic kind being

She mothers and feeds me

The walls protecting my heart open

I’m freed from the agonizing pressure I collected from my artificial surroundings

I run frolic through fields of flowers and giggle like a child

I ascend and become myself, the truest self
