Notes About The Poem

E Words Contest Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet written 6/4/2024

Earth

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts." Quote by Rachel Carson

I lay my head down on the cushion
Floor, alone in respect of the poise
Forest, yielding large old timber, embraced
Amongst the oldest plants in existence
On earth, cradled viridescent undergrowth.

I turn to sound of shuffling leaves,
A warm magic of dreams from long ago
Its movements and gradual transformation
That still stands in its prideful importance,
While water flows beneath its sole.

I serenely connect, melt with nature a resource 
To supply and sustain a calming well-being.
