Not a poem. Just
a poetic ramble.

I want to use the Forests
The rains
The sea
The sky

I want them to represent the peace in my soul.

I want to be the elements.

Mix with them

Be complete. Be one with nature.

Silence.

And be one with nature.

I will get my peace when I am six feet under. one with the earth.

The earth below me.
The earth above me.
The earth by my sides.

Under the sky always.

silence.
Eternal silence.
I am at peace.

Am I happy?
When did I die?
No... I fell asleep to nature's lullaby.

I think of being one with the earth.
But oh how I will miss the sun's soft hugs every morning.
The moon. The stars. The sky. I will not see them. Perhaps I may dream of them

I am earth.
I am earth.

I am a being.
Earth is my home.
I will be Home. But not now.
I will be home when my work is done. Until then I am a being.
And I am yet to go home.
