Home in the Earth

When I return home
I'm one with the land
Just like the clouds, I roam
Village kids crowd me in a band
We run uphill in the undergrowth
High above the forest
Our smiles blossom in a blowth
All laughs in a chorus
The red giant bringing us warmth
Hiding in the wind
As I turn and lay down
Our bodies aligned
Heads resting on the ground
With hands and grass intertwined
As I know, I am finally found
