I lay down
and let the green chlorophyll
envelope my soul
above, the blue eternity
of the clear Indian summer sky
at my left ear,
some small being,
scuttles about in the moist
hummus of the days decay.
at my right,
the silence of a rock,
quietly mourning
it's separation from the mountain
and underneath me,
grass continues to grow,
oblivious to the oppressive
weight I have laid upon it.
ever relentless ,in the search
for the warm of the sun...
I smell the hope of the earth
as I lay upon it
and relax into the simply,complex world that lays beneath.
and it unquestioningly,
receives the stress,
that leaches from me...
and in the sky....a bird flies...
unencumbered.
