New Zealand Forest

The Wild

by

Isaiah Prasad

I step upon the green

Like cream, the decadence surrounds me

My soul is full

I’m crying

The grey jungle surrounds me

Suffocating

I’m not letting in

I’m not letting it in me

The crime of man

It wants me

It wants us

To fall in line and trip over its dollars and pay them with time

But not mine

Mine is mine

Mine belongs out there

Amongst the wild

The birdsong

The squeaking trees

The croaking pond

The shadows and rock

The wind blows through the grass

It’s welcoming fingers pass through my hair

I crave

I lay down on the hard earth

Gaia’s beating heart

I feel her

My home

My shelter

No one can take what is rightfully mine

Rightfully ours

She is ours and we are hers

Forever
