I went to all the beautiful places of the world.
I chased the light.
I fought through the forests.
I climbed to the heights.
•
And I found tears
Welling up,
Raising the rivers,
Swelling the seas
With more salt.
•
It was a lesson in contrasts:
The ethereal,
The mortal,
Existing in one lump of dirt,
Making each other more vibrant,
More life-like,
More like life.
