Fire And Earth. Poem by Craig H. Stewart

As I lay down, resting head on perfumed earth,
caring fingers caress my ears and kiss my neck,
whispering a thousand words.
As blade of grass dances to wind's serenade,
with leaf and tree and rock and stream, I listen.

Through blazing sun I used to fly, a solar wind upon my face, catching fiery light inside and never knowing love or grace,
faster than a beam of light, guided blind through timeless space,
and always reflecting, never resting, never resting.

Until I see you,

sparkling blue and green, serene... your song attracts my soul like golden flower and buzzing bee.
I see... the roots of trees dig deep, steadfast resolve and evergreen they sway and swing as you breath.

As I lay down, resting head on perfumed earth,
I listen and learn and love.
