three pools drifting
living blown friercly
through an orange brown fernland
shadowed by solid ice capped mountains
nurturing our souls as we collapse
exhailing toxins held high in our chests
choking our wee pumping fragile hearts
now drawn free onto Mulls rocks
seeking rescue
relief, to let fall our anxiety
far & heavy, deep into these waters
leaving our souls to breathe soundly
taking in clean clean air
&
learning again to live with our whole bodies
connecting both present and past
memories of life's true link with our peoples
drinking with earths water given freely
as these pools draw poisons to deapths unknown
encouraging us to give more of our sorrows
so that we may connect gently to feel
mountains hold us well as we cry
cry out through and over
through an orange brown fernland
shadowed by solid ice capped mountains
nurturing our souls as we collapse
exhailing toxins held high in our chests
choking our wee pumping fragile hearts
now drawn free onto Mulls rocks
seeking rescue
relief, to let fall our anxiety
far & heavy, deep into these waters
leaving our souls to breathe soundly
taking in clean clean air
&
learning again to live with our whole bodies
connecting both present and past
memories of life's true link with our peoples
drinking with earths water given freely
as these pools draw poisons to deapths unknown
encouraging us to give more of our sorrows
so that we may connect gently to feel
mountains hold us well as we cry
cry out through and over

I like the 'learning again to live with our whole bodies' and the 'cry out through and over' lines a lot. The whole piece leaves you with a cathartic feeling. I just read three or four of your poems in a row and it only now occurred to me that you don't capitalise, and I like that a lot, I think it really just fits, but I'm not sure how to explain why I think that properly.
