NATURE Poem by Tavisha Sh.

Like the whirl of wind appears, you disappear, but the existence of you was keyed into my
soul; if I were never to remember, I’d never know the feeling of whole

Like the whirl of wind disappears, you appear
Truly still, effortlessly silent,
Like you’re becoming the entire atmosphere I’m in,
It’s almost deafening how loud you become,
Every thought, my mind’s sky, holds the quality of us,
Intertwined, open, and undone.

I can feel it now, sunlight feels like joy,
I can smell it now, fresh air smells like freedom,
I can see it now, those eyes calmingly smiling,
The sweetness of presiding.

The whole time, I am still,
Breathing calmly like a river open, taking you in,
Falling and fulfilled,
Witnessing the tightening swirl of you around me,
Letting go, relaxing, closing my eyes, and resting.

Meet me in my dreams, what was is disappearing,
New skies I feel within, my mind returning to exploring,
Listening and wondering, but still in sleep, there’s something of you outside me that remains,
I’ve been living life within your embrace, like the skies I’m in,
And now I’ll live life with your embrace, this warmth I know, locked in.
