Beneath the earth, I water the shrubs above,
My body mingled with the soil, finally free.
Now, I become the daisies and lilies,
My essence embraced by the blossoms’ bloom.
Honey bees will sip parts of me,
Carrying my essence from flower to flower,
I will be part of new beginnings.
In the showers of rain, I shall dissolve,
Mingling with the droplets that nourish the earth,
I will ride the winds as a whisper,
A speck in the gentle breeze, softly heard.
Everywhere, in every element, I will be,
Fulfilling the wish to be omnipresent.
The roots of trees will drink of me,
Strengthening trunks and sprouting new leaves.
Birds will nest in the branches above,
Singing songs with the energy of my soul.
In the cycle of life, I find my peace,
Becoming all, in a perpetual embrace.
Eternal and boundless, my journey unfolds,
From the soil to the sky, in every crevice,
I scatter myself in endless ways,
Unseen, but felt in the heartbeat of nature.
In this unity, I am whole,
Everywhere, just as I always dreamed to be.

Unsung balladry.
