We are together in this!

We are Planet Earth!

a poem — by me.

Here I am, having a walk through my chosen home, Berlin, Planet Earth.

Here I am, smiling about two rats who sneak some leftover food from under a bench in the park.

Here I am, standing still, listening to the wind roaming through the air by the trees.

Here I am, kneeling, joyfully stroking with my fingertip over the first snowdrop of this year.

Here I am, watching myself walking from a slightly higher perspective.

Here I am, watching myself watching myself smiling about two rats from yet another place.

Here I am, perceiving myself watching myself watching myself listening to the wind from again somewhere else.

Here I am, realizing that I am joyfully stroking with my fingertip over the first snowdrop of this year, which is me myself.

Here I am, understanding that I truly am my chosen home, I am Berlin, I am Planet Earth.

Here I am, merging with my smile, the rats, the leftover food, and even with the bench in the park.

Here I am, becoming one with the trees, the air, the wind.
