From the radiant blossom of a hibiscus
To the preciousness of a child drinking life-sustaining liquid
From the contentment of a sunbathed bird
To the blissful twirl of coffee on my tongue
From the “hello” of a so-called stranger
To a gust of soothing warmth on a late May’s night
From the sensation of my breath
To your gravity’s tender pull of yearned unity
To you, my reverence
My gratitude
My dear Earth
From the elements, I come
To the elements, I will remain
I am the dirt
I am the trees
I am the manifestation of electromagnetic potential
I am meant to be
As are you
As is our interdependence to each other
To the oceans
To the mountains
And the Cosmos
Life, while deceivingly irrelevant
An essential piece of space-time
An inseparable piece of the Cosmic dance
Ever evolving
Until the final star sighs her last photon
At which, we rest
Existing in near nothingness
Yet complete wholeness
Genuine peace
Unwavering oneness

Hope you enjoyed my free-verse poem. Rarely does my desire to write overlap with my emotions and willingness to do so — which is why my posts are so sporadic. If you’re curious to hear about my ever-evolving spiritual journey, I plan to write a series to posts later this summer. Stay tuned!
