Dirt and Cereal

I don’t eat cereal

my breakfasts are usually

at 2pm

and consist of lunch

I try not to hold my breath

as I anticipate

all the change to come

I have my heart

and my family

Gaia holds me

she helps me transmute

the weight of it all

my roots have been

getting deeper and deeper

I have discovered

the source

roots look scary

when they are pulled

out of the dirt

that doesn’t negate

their essential role

in our development

when you are in the dirt

you can only see

what is right in front of you

you can feel the surrounding system

but it doesn’t need to concern you

until it does

I can feel all of my roots

I thank them for

the sustenance

that they provide

my next growth spurt

has already happened

the roots tell me

the truth

I can’t see their vision

with my two eyes

but I can

with my third

my blessings

are on the way

on one condition

I keep listening

may I always hear

the whispers of my heart

beyond the shouting in the sky
