My Body The Earth

My Body The Earth

A Poem by Joshua Carl Cruz

in the fall 
in the leaves
in the trees 
in the ground
always 
you'll find me 
turning 
around
beneath your very feet
my body will be the Earth
where I wait 
silently 
patiently
stone

"The instant the sun
broke past the ridge
you lit out, leaving me ashore."
I really enjoyed how you related nature with yourself in a sense. I wish there was a name for what you did in this poem, but it was truly unique. Rather than just saying someone left, you were descriptive with the Earth so that the reader had a clear mental image with the emotion. Beautiful writing

Beautiful imagery..
I was enthralled by the vivid descriptions of the nature and body entwining with each other in time and space..
The emotions laced with the natural events..
Very well penned..
Relished it..!

Well, i like the poem. If ya ask me, i'd say to put the "Me?" in the same line with "Why did you leave" but i guess its part of your style. Well done.

Deeply sensitive melancholic nostalgic write that I am certain touches the hearts of many who have felt the same. Nicely inked.
