'I lay myself down

on the welcoming

ground, the earth's

spine becoming mine.

​

Peace seeps into

heavy limbs and

slows my heartbeat

to the pace of nature.

​

I take refuge

in the quiet, and let

my burdens go,

one by one, until

the earth and i

both float in the

same vas and

precious silence.'
