I Came From Nature - Anita Holzberg

I came from Na ture
                 my shoes wet
                       my heart out there on the horizon
                               my face with droplets
                                       of rain glowing

I came in from rainy Nature
 my lips parched
     my teeth yellow
           my arms sagging
               with the age

I came in
 the blankets cover my toes now
    the cup of passion tea in my hand
        the bath flooding the room

I came in
quietly
    without a sound
       my Picchu was inside too
     watching the rain come down
              the drops pervade my garden's face
        
I came in
            the quiet s o u n d
 Nature abounds.
