Spirit

In the FIRE,

In the COAL,

In the ASH,

There lies my soul...





In the WATER,

In the STREAM,

In the RIVER,

There I dream...




In the EARTH,

In the GROUND,

In NATURE'S

Where I'm safe and sound...




In the AIR,

In the BREEZE,

On the WIND,

Is where I'm free.

Wow, where do I start? I'll start with the fact that I feel most at peace out in the bush on a cool, crisp night, bonfire crackling by a trickling stream. Sometimes I like my own company, other times the company of those who mean the most to me; that is, my closest friends, and my incredible boyfriend. I suppose, for me, this poem is simply a reflection of the softness I keep hidden under my spiky shell of sarcasm and death-glares. Poetry, and in the company of those I love most in the world seem to be the only places I reveal this softer side. So here she is, my inner self, represented as best I can with my current writing abilities. I hope I'm not a disappointment.
