# A (Modified)Love Poem

A little something I came up with on the top of a mountain today. Hope you like it.

 

I yearn for nature.  That's just the way it is.

My soul demands it, like the lungs demand air. 

 

I desire the gleeful cries of a magpie atop a fence post,

I must have the spicy smell of fallen pine needles in the summer.

 

I burn for hollow stumps filled with last season's leaves,

I ache for handfuls of seeds released to the wind.

 

There is an emptiness inside me that can only be filled with mud,

the kind that squishes around your toes.

 

I crave rocks.  All of them.

I pine for the place near the water where all the tracks meet.

 

I simply cannot exist without that blade of grass...

No, not that one, the one to the left... a little more...

Yes, that one.
