How Pagans Came To Be

In the summer
When the sky is clear
The stars are more my home
Than my own bed
The stones and flora
Whisper my name
In the breeze
The water is warm
Silver springs call me
In the summer
My skin thaws
And my bones ache
For something less
Than ordinary
In the summer
I understand
How pagans
Came to be

The stars and the wind, how summer feels upon the skin, looking for something less than ordinary. All of these, plus many more, describe those that worship creation; instead of the Creator. This is so beautifully written and expressed. Congratulations Some One, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Well, that certainly might explain how "naturists" came to be. A great piece, at any rate, S O, and congrats on POTD.
