"awaiting me"

green, full of color
full of life, full of splendor
per chance I visit it
happy will I be

dew, on every blade
frost on every leaf
brush, wild with spice
trees, tall, and strong

flowing water unseen
wash away worries
wash away cares
make everything clean

shimmering, cool, water
push the sand into mounds
form secret, small paths
escape into wonder

glimmering sun,
fade out the pain
push out the known
and embrace the unseen

give me not these things,
and leave me untouched
else taste causes crave
more pain will you bring

no water, no air
no grass, no trees
all mine unknown
no pain will I bare

sorrow, pain
hate, greed
I know all
but feel less

peace, and love
that I embrace
await far off
a sweet, foreign place
