Mother Nature Poem by Melissa L. Pelletier

Black fragrant soil is my blood
minerals course through my veins
to nourish my body
rich green grass feeds my greedy flesh
wind fills my lungs
every breath I take
I give it back again
stars are my desire
shining brightly in my eyes
the ocean is a vast connection to others
sometimes shallow
other times reaching unimaginable depth
my soul is a promise
whipered long before I was born
time is always borrowed
nothing is truly owned
and nothing is ever truly lost
