I create

I breath in glass
and turn numb as my
view of my earth starts to spin
eyes slowly turned back within time

I look down at the earth spinning
watch cartographers attempts to
recreate my oceans and every
coastlines, every shore,
cliff to stone, pepple

grain of sand, roots
and my leaves,

the touch of sunlight
on the soil I
carefuli aligned,
seed from mind.

This is great Kahdai and quite beautiful. I love that 'touch of sunlight on the soil I carefully aligned' - really good. :-)
