I Want to Be Here

I want to be here when nature calls,

I want to be here, to smell silence and empty places,

I want to be here, present to see the autumn eating summer,

I want to be here, also when winter sobs and soaks the land,

I want to be here, to witness the blooming spring,

I want to be here, to nest a flowering souls.

I want to be here too, and dry like a desert in summer,

I want to be here, to compost every moment,

I want to be here, to give birth in dead places,

I want to be here, to experience all that is here,

I want to be here, to cherish the place of here.

I AM HERE, experiencing the miracles of being here,

Inspired by; the taste of Sabich in the community garden, and the twin street cats that refused to tell me their names.
