Nature Itself

The lilting dip
Of the mountains
Trace a path
Back to what once was
Mine.

Her in her 
Sunflower running dress
Whose imaginings 
Relied on the world
Spinning with her

The marbled walls
Of a canyon
Reflected her like 
A river

Slices of wild and
Ruckus granite
Twists of jagged and
Playful limestone

The fires which
Stole her
Made her

Forged from flame
She steps out from
Between the trees and
Glides over eggshells

She is, in short,
Nature itself

She is, in part,
Me.
