I Am

Standard

I find myself 

Wandering in the densest

Forest.

Without a sound I lay myself down

In the moss, the twigs, the leaves

And I breathe.

I am them and they are me,

The earth,

The stars,

This air.

And that has to be enough in this moment 

For I hang on silently,

The merest

Particle

Brushing my fingertips;

As this air strums my

Out of tune heart,

Strings stretched to snap.

Thump.

As my heartbeat slows i am

Reimmersed;

Securely wrapped

In the cocoon;

The womb, The tomb.

In stillness I become the miraculous healing.

All else is released but love.

In a gasp of breath reborn;

Nothing remains to mourn.

I am.

Hole

Standard

We climbed up

Out of the hole breathless and began

Rolling around on the

Ground giggling uncontrollably.

We dusted off our clothes and picked twigs out of each others hair.

Then

He took my hands, kissed my lips and started humming that song about being lost.

Holding on tighter

We

Glanced at one another once more

And

Dove right back in

To explore more uncharted territory.
