Once surrounded by the heaviness, 

by the glistening forests of metal

by the screeching sounds of the world

buzzing in your ears

the voices that won’t leave,

but finally

running free towards the open fields, the nature

to the colors that sway in unison

among the soft bristles of green

dancing in the glowing light

with the rustling leaves of orange and red

that fall and float

as the world shivers and shakes

with the weight it has been burdened 

The light dims

and the sky turns to burning fire

swatches of a fiery palette 

among the gentle blots of white

the moon awakens

and reveals her pale face 

into the quiet of the night

as the tired sun sleeps soundly

lying among the insects and birds

an ear to the mossy ground

listening to the world’s heartbeat

the sound of silence

once, everything moved so fast

and now, the slow, steady rhythm joins mine

feeling Earth’s breath

swelling up and down

close my eyes

and I am free
