the earth breathes.

Earth breathes

from the cracks of the crater

the muddy caldera after a rain shower

with surprising abysses of no final point.

Mount Bromo, Indonesia

Earth breathes

from the river that pours into a fall

of a forest hidden within like a primitive soul

with constant rhapsodies flurrying by, the sound of life.

Earth breathes

from the blue sulphuric acid

that beautiful teal that smells deadly

but remind you of how nature is all-encompassing.

Ijen Blue Lake, Indonesia

Earth breathes

and I try, to breathe with her.

I try to inhale, the air she crafted

the ingenious blue planet that stands lonesome in the galaxy.

Earth breathes

and I want, to continue breathing with her.
