Begabond
Begabond: Definition ~ a person who begs and gabs at nature, hoping to bond with nature in a romanticized fashion, in desperate attempts to feel less flat emotionally
I beg the rain to wash away my sad discontentment,
and along with it, may my resentment rush towards rivers, in far away lands.
I strive to ground myself like the ground coffee beans that fell on the ground that I just stared at for a moment.
I check-in with my five senses.
I see the rain slipped from the roof edge.
I hear the clock’s steady pace.
I don’t smell anything at all but it would be nice to smell chocolate chip cookies baking.
I taste the aftertaste of bitter coffee.
I feel the touch of my heartbeat encouraging my body to look more alive.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Oh, this is gold—"Begabond" needs to be in the dictionary ASAP! Ever tried actually begging the rain? Maybe it listens better than people lol.
Warm chocolate chip cookies would be nice 🍪🍪🍪
I guess I'm a begabond to the Nth degree then. I find beauty in everything outside and talk to it all, the sun's female, the moon's male and the stars are...well... stars. The trees sing, the rocks cry out if no-one else does, and all of nature has the fingerprint of God on it.
