Whispering orchards;
Dark and cool places between
Pears, apples, and the sweet bloom
Of healing.
Fresh mountain air;
Crisp and free,
The balm of Gilead
For my scarred, weary everything.
They call to me,
Quietly,
Silently,
With whispers that smell like soil.
My thumping heart;
My bleeding, stitched, bleeding heart
Pulls violently.
I want to go home.
succulent read! i could see, smell and taste it! LOVE THAT!!!!!! a new fave! ♥
