    Connections

    I touch the earth
    And the earth touches me,
    And my inbreath is the outbreath of the world.
    As I stand upon the shore and touch the sea,
    The ocean touches all the shores,
    And thus do they touch me.

    And as I bend at the river to drink,
    I take in water that washed the throats
    of ancient things, back before the dinosaur
    breathed his first of the air that still floats
    around within my panting lungs
    giving voice to these gloats.

    For I am alive in the world
    wrapped up, mixed up, in every way
    we are one, her rhythms are mine and mine hers.
    Connections running deep, boundries decay
    and I am lost to her, and not in sadness
    do my edges begin to fray.

    Very interesting, the rhythm of the piece is very much an example of its message, with each line seeming to attach to the next one. Well done!
