Life Divine
We all know it when we see it — yet cannot speak its true name.
I am the wetness of a rain drenched ocean
Come and swim in me
I am the glory of a crackling thunderhead
Watch me until I finally crack open and pour
I am the glorious blooming of a flower
Come and taste my pollen
I am the soft furriness of a kitten belly
Pet me and make me purr
I am the angry welt of a mosquito bite
Come and scratch my itch
I am the surrendering crack of seed casing beneath the soil’s surface
Pause and watch me sprout
I am the fragrant smell of old wood burning
Come and steal my scent
I am the gooey rot of old composted vegetables
Watch me turn decay into fertility
I am the beauty of a shooting star
Wish upon my headlong descent
I am miles and miles of mychorhizzal hyphae
Sense me moving golden wealth below the soil
I am the frigid shiver of windbitten skin
Feel my prickled goosebumps
