Home With Nature

I walked towards her

The thought of her freedom

Called me home

I want to be free like her

I looked around

Breathed her in

I let her sun rest on my face till it burned

I moved into her shade

Sat by her tree

Walked on her roots

Placed my hands down on her gently

With respect

Asked for healing

Then I slipped off my socks and shoes

Walked in the dew-covered grass

Before I left her

I stood by the water

Of her still mind

She talked to me through poetry

And this is what she said:

She doesn't hold back for anyone

She lets her truths rise

In expression

If they need to rise

This keeps her core pure

This is how she keeps her light

She's never sorry for her expressions

In the form of an unwelcome storm

Or a smile so bright it blinds

She feels how she feels

Her heart beats how it beats

She just wants to breathe and share her beauty

The dark and the light

More incredible for her duality

Everything she creates

Is a miracle

Even that annoying squirrel

She laughs

It's all perfect

Some try to change her landscape

They think only some parts of her are worthy

Only some parts fit

But she will let her weeds out

She knows it all belongs

She knows she's enough

Like a mother

She wants to share

Her heart and her gifts

To nurture and provide

But she will not be disrespected

She is forgiving

But she knows she deserves only love

She will not be denied the love she desires

And she knows she is free

To say it

I came home to her inspiration

When home

I remember

I'm here to be a voice

For freedom
