A Creature of Dirt and Rain

Earthworms live fascinating lives

They go with the flow

Like going with a crowd

The world moves day by day for them- much like my own

When it's hot, we hide

They would shrivel up and dry

The rain is relaxing

Cool and cleansing- we both come out in the rain

Small, they could get lost

Both of us are small and wiggle as we wander

Both we live among nature

Without them speaking

Plants are louder than people

Swaying and moving along with the wind

My voice resonates at that same level

Bright and loud like red rose

Or calm but seen like the poppys found below our feet

We live to our own rhythm

A stream forward

Through the dirt

Through nature

We follow our hearts and our needs

They aren't creatures of pure solitude

But a calm silence from the rest is nice

Odd as they are

Weird as we both may be

Worms are fascinating creatures

We both live carefree lives
