come to the earth
we burrow deep in the brown treasure
we snake through jungles green and soft
swim flashing rainbows in the translucent night
fly as swallows bending the air smooth arrows
being as babies gurgling under swimming suns
soaring as souls each night a new story to unfurl
lie stretched each nerve sighing in summer fields
and in a balmy Indian night swoon in the mystic
to rhythms sensual and hypnotic
pure hymns to our blissful sleeping spirit
catching orange flecks of burning clouds
turning the world to dreams of scarlet
curling like a puppy to sleep
we smile and let go
drifting slowly
far from earth
but happy to be
lost in this magic

A beautiful presentation to adorn your thoughts.

*sigh* being one with the natural world as it was meant to be, a lovely wonderous vision.
