PSITHURISM

As I step out of my bed

It tries to pull me back again

Wants me to lay supine

And enjoy the world

beyond my eyes


I kept my eyes tightly shut

But still felt the petrichor as it touched

Heard the clouds as thundering bows

And little droplets as they dropped and rose

Which filled me from head to toe


I felt a squirrel passing by

Hopped and sprang under this sky

And this tender earth fresh and wild

Has green secrets under its hide

I heard some sonorous wild growls


Coming from a distance like musical sounds

But for oblivion, I felt my back resting again

And threw my hands in search of it

But it was nowhere to be found again.
