Inscape

Charissa Sylvia

What if all the ponds
are portals?
what if every leaf
could sing?
what if all the light
knows something,
and rays are
how it speaks?
what if all the woods
are warriors
who remember
life before?
what if every
blossom blooming,
is the key to a secret door?
what if the oceans
murmur memories
of paradise lost?
and the tide,
tells true tall tales
that refuse to be lost?
what if the caves
still echo Eden
when you call into
their depths?
what if we’re made
for life eternal?
our souls saying
we’re more than
mere mortals?
the pulsing
in our blood,
and every vein of earth,
shouting that the
songs and stories
are the truest myth?
