You will come back to yourself
Laugh beside the birds
shadowed in the hint of dusk ahead.
Watch the uncultured fields
crash by in infant waves,
unraveling with the thunder above.
The moon rises in tandem
with your breath
you speak life into nature.
Stay here with the Earth that birthed you,
soothed you through fear,
fed you and bathed you,
Exalted feverishly through
the land with you.
The temple is our home
And is the goodness of life—
The sweetness of existence
is our Savior.
You are painted with wonder,
one with the noisy, clattering animals,
everything and a dash more.
Everything is the beauty
of nothingness that remains
when you are a hushed mound of soil.

Beautiful work, McKenna. The message is capacious, the language lush. My hat is off to you.
Sorry, I meant to type Makenna!
Thank you!!
Gorgeous. Especially love: “shadowed in the hint of dusk ahead.”, and “The moon rises in tandem/with your breath”,
