The Road Between Earth and Sky

​                         Earth,
            You are deep,
    Rippling with stories. His, Hers and Ours.
I roll over your surface,
And you speak.
Wherever I am,
Whoever I’m with,
You are there
Underfoot. In my lungs. In my hair.
 
My mud home.
Not one square of you. All of you.
Everywhere.
The Soil,
         The Water,
               The Forest, Steppe and Plain.
                Enchanted planet, you are open to me,
                        Whispering your secrets 
                                    And I glide along your veins.
 
                                                         Sky
                                                 You are deep.
                     Expanding with ideas. From above and beyond.
                                          As I travel beneath you.
                                                    You inspire.
                                                 Wherever I am.
                                                  However I live.
                                                    You are here.
                                    Overhead. In my eyes. In my ears.
 
                                                The road winds on,
                                     Over you. Under you.
It is a flow born of you both; Earth and Sky.
Life energy,
Restless. Within me. Ever onward. 
The journey
            is unstoppable 
                      Pushing forever forward,                                     
                                              Spilling me,
                                                                     Over my edges. Toward...
