I Belong Wild

My heart belongs wild
Entangled in the green vines
Moistened by the morning dews
Fed by the dark, rich soils
And warmed by the rising Sun

My soul belongs wild
Hidden by the dancing shadows
Sweetened by the fragrant blossoms
Riding on the sweet chords of the early birds
And echoing in the horizon’s canyons 

My mind belongs wild
To sieve the sands of time
To count the midnight’s stars
To dive deep into the abyss
To make of a fresh world what I want.

My spirit belongs wild
To touch the hands of the past
To touch the edges of tomorrow
To touch the whispering secrets of today
So that I may happily live
