Seeds, Entwined 
 
The breeze cools my furious skin   
Fighting with myself beneath the surface   
I long to breathe clearly.     
 
A chatty stream of clean, clear water   
Soothes my soul   
and I am lulled   
Despite my dry, darting thoughts.     
 
The crackling fire of community protects me   
I am lost without the light   
frozen without its heat—   
Until I see a spark.  
    
The living earth beneath my feet   
Holds me close   
We are one, the sand and the stars   
We need not feel so alone.      
 
Then, the ether   
It gathers and expands   
As we require   
Giving us the space for love   
And the gift of dreams. 
     
Don't be afraid of yourself   
My friend   
We are seeds of time   
In the end, entwined   
Unburdened and free.
