I let the colours of the wind tattoo my skin
And paint my body into the fibres of the canvas
Woven through the landscape I dissolve within
The tremors of the Earth
Vibrate in my chest, escaping on my breath
A whisper
Echoes of journeys once traversed
Hollow are my lungs
Thirsty is my mind
Unquenchable
Restless are my feet
Begging for textures that contrast the sanguinous grains of salt that blister them
Unravelled
The locks of hair, twisted
Caressing a fractured spine contained by scaffolding constructed by lego
As a child
Boundless are the valleys and mountains that lay ahead and
Evanesce in my wake
Birdsong carries lullabies of old
Conifers whisper wisdom to saplings
Elements complementing, cycling
Nurturing, guiding
Beauty personified
Graciousness
Simplicity
Honest
Secure
I drink from the vine
Nourish from the fruits
Scavenge for connection
Immerse myself in the hedgerows
Lay Foundation in the undergrowth
Sow (sew) seeds, garnered and harvested
Suckled and cultivated by virtue of umbilical connection to my soul
Everlasting Hope
Eternal Journey
