Who am I?
I am only a guy enjoying a nap on the mud, now from under the dirt I rise
What! You thought there is no life in filth?
Well, surprise-surprise
How nice is the breeze that carries the fragrance of this muddy dam where I reside
The aroma put me in the days when Mother Earth was in her best of times
Her moderate heartbeat verified she was indeed flourishing with life
I might not know much but I know the definition of love is embedded in her eyes
When my strength was low and my belly rumbled like the ground at the feet of a thousand marching troops
She provided a wide range of fruits for me to dine
My belly got full but hunger in my heart was left unsatisfied
A hunger powered by curiosity, I would sometimes set my sight beyond the land
And wonder what's on the other side
View of the stars makes me wish I could fly
So I can get near and dance with them until the moon glimmers at us in an envious cry
I send my sorries to mother earth for I have now left her care to explore the unknown realm
The shame in me had made me afraid to even send my goodbyes
Fact is I have become a slave to my pride
Oh Mother Earth, now and then I hear your cries
Will I one day believe in nature again and return to my habitat life?
I do not know
But one thing I know is, deep down I hope our heartbeat is once again aligned
