symbiosis

me and the earth
we're like that
can't live without one another

when I jump
she jumps to catch me

when I fall
she meets and holds me
can't stand the thought of losing me

she pulls me to her centre
I pull her to mine


the earth clings happily to my feet

I affect the earth
as much as she affects me
no more
no less
just equally

and when I die
I’ll return to the earth
and the earth
will return to me

and we’ll lie within one another
symbiotically
