💃Where the Soil Meets the Soul

The noise that rattled in the chest

Begins to slow its hurried beat,

As restless waters bow their heads

To meet the soil beneath our feet.

No longer driven by the tide,

Or scattered by the passing air,

The body claims its quiet ground

And finds a sanctuary there.

There is a dignity in stone,

A sacred strength in standing still—

To feel the weight of who we are

Aligned with an unshakeable will.

We do not bend to every breeze,

Nor run from shadows on the wall;

The spirit learns to rest its faith

On foundations that never fall.

So let the heavy breath come slow,

And let the anxious fires cease.

For strength is not a sudden spark—

It is the steady pulse of peace.
