This earth that seems to move
At paces ever heightening
Begs to all who’ll listen
Pleads its innocence to a deaf jury
Murmuring movements never stopping
Footsteps falling faster without fail
Forever forgetting today
Pushing past for a glimpse of tomorrow
Would that the relentless would relinquish
In a moment accept melancholy
Embracing the oddity of silence
Rather exchanging noise for quiet sound
That I could plunge into an ocean of whispering gold
Drowning amid the swaying stalks
Losing noisy conscious
Gaining the glory of security
Release the tension of knowledge
To the soothing caress of the wind
And sinking deeper into the moist earth
Encounter the rhythmic heartbeat of life
To be filled with the magnitude of mystery
For a moment revel in that which is unknown
Permitting it to pervade my very veins
Filling this soul until ready to burst.
