My Deepest Desires

Isabel Taylor

I want to be one with the earthI want to sink my feet into the soft dirtand feel no difference between myself and the worldI want to slip into the cool river waterand float as if I am made of it.I want to climb the tallest treesand daringly sway in the breeze.I want to look into a wolf’s eyesand feel no fear at all.I want to be one with the earth.
