Rain-Soaked Freedom MAG
March 13, 2011
I want to feel the squish of cool mud through my toes.
I want to feel the world through my feet,
Pounding over cement, skipping over gravel,
Sinking into rain-drenched earth.
My running feet, collecting grass seeds.
I want to run in the rain,
Droplets sliding down my arms
And darkening my hair.
I want to splash in every puddle.
The sky is gray and heavy with its burden,
But my spirit is light, and thinking
Is replaced with being.

I love love love love love how relatable your work is. You are so descriptive and powerful, and I can feel the emotion dripping from your every word! I was so (positively!) overwhelmed by how you weave your words in and out of eachother, how you make them flow so beautifully. "It is replaced with being" is such a powerful line. Great job. :)
