i belong in nature
away from the noise
& meaningless chatter.
where deer roam
& rivers flow
& i sit quietly
with the trees
savoring every breath
i breathe
as my body melts
into the moment.
i dig my bare feet
into the soil
& feel the rain
fall upon my face
washing away
the burdens
i once carried.
i grow wild
& dance
to the beat
of my own heart
honoring
the sacred feminine
as she teaches me
how to become
the woman
i came here to be
wild & free.
i talk
to god
in a language
without words
& bow in gratitude
for this precious life
he granted me.
i gaze up
at the stars
then close my eyes
as the moon
whispers lullabies
in her gentle voice
each night.
i wake up
with the sun
as eternal love
welcomes me
into this world
over & over again
every morning.
i am free.
i am protected.
i am loved.
& so are you.
xo,
zella
