Light of the Surface

I grasp the earth  
Between my fingers  
I grasp all the
Knowledge of the
Years of this trotted
Land.
I hold
Only the purity  
That the earth  
Can give.  
She's intwined  
Me all my life  
I've been beautifully  
Wrapped in a light  
In an air  
That brings me  
Life  
Feel her breathe  
In the wind  
And sing  
Through the forest  
I've been held  
Down onto this  
Land  
But it fills my  
Spirit  
With bird songs  
And blushing  
Sunsets  
Things that lift  
Me farther and  
Stronger than  
Gravity  
Can keep me  
Grounded.  
The spirit of  
The earth  
Answers back  
To me  
Sifting between  
My fingers  
Sand and soil  
Grass and sea  
I know them  
All and they  
All know me.
