Tantalizing tendrils of soft evergreen
Bursting forth in a sparkle of dancing dewdrops
Reaching towards the sky to feast upon the light
Of the glorious golden dawn
Tenderly, I moisten the fertile soil
With an elixir of hopes, dreams, and gratitude
For when I stand in awe
Of the jeweled amethyst dusk
Mortal musings vine through the mind
Anemoia grips the wistful heart
Suddenly struck by the thought
Of when I am laid to rest
Within Gaia’s nest
From my body you will feed
To continue the cyclical celebration
Of our eternal entwined existence

Life's a journey and I don't have map.
I long to create worlds like the ones I would read about under the blankets late at night.
Magical realism.
