earth / breathe / sugar sweet

For Savannah’s Summoning the Pantheon Challenge!

By angela hepworthPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

to be alive—to breathe in the autumn breeze under the trees

to bow my head, to thank this world for having me

to extend a hand up to Gaea, pay my respects

to her pristinely crafted world—oh, how the ground

sifts under my feet like a gentle wave

upon the sand as the earth blossoms

continually—sugar sweet droplets of rain,

fall upon this tongue!

please, exude your

gloriously sweet

benevolence!

Thanks for reading! ♥️
