My Dear Adam

My Dear Adam

I’m that woman on the secret road,
Asking and wondering…
What’s it like to be naked in the outdoors
And free
From everything society told us to be?
Do you ever wonder,
Boy who I met again on a nature trail?
Do you ever wonder what it feels like to be away
From here?
That night you washed my body in the shower,.
I felt we were floating away to a mystical forest.

Are you my Diddy Kong?
Do you wanna go?
Back to the sacred realm
Where we were free to be
On that adventure
I felt I had with you
Since age 3?

A fallen angel
On a star I drew years before I met you?

Oh, how is it now
That my life makes perfect sense
Yet none at all?

Can you be my new Adam?
I know you’re afraid.
I am too.
But I’m the girl who has the secret,
Whose kindness extends to rats
And even spiders.
Who realized we came to save animals too.

Can we open the door to the sacred realm?
The one I imagined at 14.
Can we open to door to a place of only nature
And each other?
You’re my Mewtwo on a star,
And I’m Mew
Exploring this world
Until I find my way back to you.
