Let water touch your skin, then the wind and the sun kiss you

 Things are shifting

they are much lighter now.

Maybe they always were

I just removed all the dirt on top of me

and can finally see it

feel it

and know that the lightness

is all around me.

I can become heavy and cover myself 

with the earth

burying what isn't working 

or I can spring up

fresh

and sweet

like petals

offering a fragrant spirit

of something new
