I am weathered & worn
from exposure
to all of the elements
since the beginning
of time
water
eroding rock slowly
breaking down bones & shells
into tiny granules of sand
matter
molecules
hydrogen, oxygen
tasteless, odorless
a medium
in its different forms-
gaseous, liquid, solid
it fills any vessel it is poured into
conduits
for electricity
with the ability
to dissolve other substances
with a memory
hydrating
or hurting
if retaining toxins & pollution
~
filter your inner waters
purify & simplify
for vitality & wellness
listen
to a trickling stream
meeting & merging
with a mighty river
who then marries the ocean
feel the pressure of a waterfall
pushing down onto your being
as you stand tall
now
floating on your back
weightless
dancing in the rain
witnessing a mist
become a light drizzle
& then a downpour
~
wind caressing
& directing
guiding my sails
to an island,
ancient ruins whispering for my return
unseen currents
beneath & above
moving me
air
as light as a feather
fanning my fire
sparking
igniting
warming
scorching
a volcanic eruption
molten lava shooting out & up
descending down
ashes to ashes
we all rise out of the flames
& were formed out of the clay
kneaded
malleable
hardening
under pressure & time
to birth crystals
of different hues & formations
unearth the beauty
through digging deep
& above ground
a tree loses its leaves
that will turn into soil
compost for new life
a network of mycelium & micro organisms
beneath our feet
fruiting bodies reproducing
through microscopic spores
& seeds of every size
information for life inside
from the earth we were born out of & into
& to the earth our bodies will return
