Earthing
and so I dream of taking
every bit of myself
to the woods, where
I will find the parts of me
that are still whole,
still connected to everything;
where the sun on my face
invigorates my bones and
the smell of pine and moss,
the texture of earth and detritus,
fills my weary soul to bursting;
there, I am not broken or
found wanting by schedules
or living a life meant for others;
there, I am free
every bit of myself
to the woods, where
I will find the parts of me
that are still whole,
still connected to everything;
where the sun on my face
invigorates my bones and
the smell of pine and moss,
the texture of earth and detritus,
fills my weary soul to bursting;
there, I am not broken or
found wanting by schedules
or living a life meant for others;
there, I am free

this is beautiful I was just outside and the thought occurred to me I might have once been a tree I spent most of my childhood up a tree daydreaming...

Amen!
I miss those times. Further north though! Not the Florida humid mosquito woods times. Lol.
You depicted the perfect thoughts about how it effects us, when out there taking in Mother Nature in her pure form. -Made me remember some of my old times myself. Thank you for that!
Awesome write.

... 😍👍
Just like a spiritual retreat which allows time for reflection, meditation and contemplation..
It could be considered essential in poetry...

Dear L,
Divine. Inspirational and the only thing left to get me through the day. Life is too demanding and scary and I really enjoyed the respite of it through your lovely poem. H🌷

Hi Jenn... :)
I like this very much...
I think that an immersion in nature
is antithetical to the material...
Green is the way; I think...
For me...
Patterning with nature is the way...

Dear Luna,
Sounds like a beautiful and peaceful place to be. Can I go too if I promise to be silent with you? Ha
Bless,
Mel
