Hope you like it.","content":"\u0026nbsp;\n\nI yearn for nature.\u0026nbsp; That's just the way it is.\n\nMy soul demands it, like the lungs demand air.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI desire the gleeful cries of a magpie atop a fence post,\n\nI must have the spicy smell of fallen pine needles in the summer.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI burn for hollow stumps filled with last season's leaves,\n\nI ache for handfuls of seeds released to the wind.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThere is an emptiness inside me that can only be filled with mud,\n\nthe kind that squishes around your toes.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI crave rocks.\u0026nbsp; All of them.\n\nI pine for the place near the water where all the tracks meet.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI simply cannot exist without that blade of grass...\n\nNo, not that one, the one to the left... a little more...\n\nYes, that one.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
