Make way for me oh dear soil
I am rushing forward towards you
I'll be in need of your service soon
Don't make me rush and don't hold me back
Everything is on schedule so no need to force
I have no idea when I'll be ready
But I know that I will
No money or trinkets will I bring with me
No desire will be left unfulfilled and no sight left unseen
Time keeps moving forward as does my conscience
There will be plenty in need of your service before I arrive
So hold up no others nor speed them ahead
Enjoy the roots of the trees scratching your surface
Take pleasure in the sea and it's depths
Take pride in the mountains and their glory
Enjoy the company of the animals that inhabit your woods
Love the warmth of the sun that rises from the east of your horizon as it sleeps in the west
Contemplate the neighboring moon and all the stars
You can feel me walking on your surface for now
As I will lay forever down in the soil below

we're all headed to the same place
just different lanes, for our life's differing paces
sooner we accept and relinquish
inevitability's grip, on our horizons
smoother the ride...
thanks for sharing
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Very powerful read - I enjoyed every line an the message behind them.
Thanks I have days of not feeling anything at all but the days I do I try to write as much as possible and I hope that the emotions echo through the words. I appreciate you reading.
