earth – Picking Up Roots

Gardening

hands, stained
with the dark heartbeat
of the Earth,
work in cool dirt 
pulsing with life;

roots - thick and thin -
run in intricate networks,

below the surface
there is so much more

Grounding

put yourself closer to the Earth,
feel its life
as your heart slows
to match its beat;

open yourself to its energy -
let it course through you -
feel your troubles
fall away;

listen to your shared heartbeat
let yourself melt
into the Earth,
become one

disappear
find peace
see yourself
