Poems and Opinions

I Am Earth

O earth take me
back after my very
last breath.

For I will become
you in ever lasting
form.

Mine hair the softest,
greenest grass,

Mine skin as thick and
strong as the bark
of a tree,

Mine eyes clear
as day,
Mine claws as
dark as night.

I will walk like water
and dance as leaves,
and mine body
as tall as trees.

I will slay the strongest storm
just for you,
earth.
