Becoming One in Mother Earth’s Loving Lap
Poem on the dissolution of the ego in nature.

Feet dipped in cold water Inside the sand, away from the clutter The wind brushing my face Hair dangling toward the stroke of air
A dip in the river Satluj Originating from the great Himalayas As if I am in communion with the giants I humble being, one with the Mother Earth
The soothing murmur crashing on the shore The wind bustling nearby Adding the elegance of the environment
Sitting on the wet sand With rolled-up pants, Closed eyes in union with the surrounding Soothing my senses in every manner
As water flowed by I dissolved in every wave Burdens wiped out Coldwater warmed me up
The meditative sound of the waves added the tinge of divinity Grateful to myriad gifts of nature Disintegrating me in its nourishing lap Making me whole and complete.
Thank you, Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她), for the prompt — the wave of relaxation. Thank you for reading. If you enjoyed this, you might also like this:
