SCENT OF THE SOIL

After days of scorching heat,

when the gazillion drops penetrated

deep into the soil,

moistening every grain

filling up the cracks,

that widened with time

awakening even the tiniest creature alive

they let the scent of the soil,

so fresh and zealous

wander into the depths of every organism

witnessing the moment with ecstasy!

For a second,

listening to the cold drizzle beat the soil

feeling the wave of coziness

enveloping my skin that dripped sweat

feeling the scent wafting into my nostrils

again and again

I knelt

before Him

for making me alive at the moment,

for letting life flow with all its vitality,

for the aura of the universe,

with just a scent of the soil!
