A Natural Waltz

I could sense the feeling of calm inside me. 
It swelled as the earth moved. 
I danced as the soil grooved. 
Nature and I, becoming one in a natural waltz, 
Reunited despite our several faults. 
My thoughts screamed in the quiet realm that was my mind. 
I disappeared as I became lost in time. 
No essence of mind, body, or soul, 
Ghosts that whispered around me through the trees, 
Nothing could touch me.I could fly 
Higher and higher I flew, the clouds flying by. 
This is the feeling that encompasses me as I lie beside nature, 
One on one after so many years of departure. 
The earth is our roots, and from earth we bear our fruits, 
The fruits that grow and become our future, our hope. 
My journey has ended, the knowledge on my face.
