one with the universe

thickening ions in the air
bending branches
shaking roots
reach to be one with the universe………


flashes
of lightening
ignite the darkened sky
rumbles
of thunder
quiver my skin

 

most run
close their eyes
hold their ears
waiting for the tempest
to pass

 

but i
won’t retreat
i’ll weather all
no matter
what the seasons bring

 

this storm
merely testing me
but my strength never wavers

 

for i am one with the universe………
