This Land

Land

Isn’t dirt

It is something higher

It holds

It grows

It breathes

It covers itself in tapestries of wildflowers

And allows the breeze to carry the seeds

It is free and travels in dust

Falls in love

And covers my jacket

My hands

Fills the lines beside my eyes

One day it will find its way inside me

Bones in the ground

Leave the coffin for the precious

This land can hold me naked

I will simply let it
