Atoms (Poetry)

The earth accepts me as I am
the wind allows me pass
the rain believes I can be clean
and sun lets shadow cast
my image on forgiving ground
the path forbears my weight
and stars dissolve the gravest doubts
the moon reflects on fate.

The spirit lifted — floating free
where heaven welcomes those
who feel their elements mere dust
adrift — pure essence flows
and merges — blends — becoming one
eternal and the same
my face in every rock and tree
the river shares my name.
