I.
don’t fear the wind
allow it to move you
gently beyond
when you feel rooted
II.
don’t fear the sun
watch bodies glow
under rays of gold
to turn off monotone
lie in your sweat
imagine it cleansing
when you feel impure
III.
don’t fear the earth
dig your nails into mud
feel roots on your skin
to ground yourself
elicit an unborn seedling
plant in your mind
a reminder of rebirth
run through fields
remember your imprints
and their ephemerality
IV.
don’t fear the sea
let the waves embrace you
mimic them
when you hold loved ones
let your body float
remember the feeling
when you need to detach
watch a whirlpool from afar
learn the sublimity of chaos
when seen from a distance
create ripples with your hands
embody this motion
when you feel powerless
[Lorna Spada]
