The rainforest and the cave




In the streets I walk along the beach
A man greets me and takes me down
into deep water

I let him lead I know I can breathe, and my feet become a fishtail

The darkness transformes into a red light in the distance.

Boiling alive, we dive into magma, and it feels so good, to boil in her

Like a vulcano eruption she shoots us out of the void,  on to the Earth

Walking barefoot in the desert, the magma falls from the heaven to the ground, and blue mountains are singing in the background

A whisper lets me know an elderly man is talking to me, calmly
There are scents I recognise, but can not remember.
His language I know, but can not remember

Together we feel the plants
I see our hands make patterns in the sand

We start to walk and we never get tired

The old man holds my hand.
My hand feels warm and vibrant.
I am tiny, my feet are strong and my hands feel warm.

Another man is coming through the desert.
We sit down together and all is silence
Suddenly he takes my hand, I trust him, and we run towards a cliff.
We jump off the cliff

Free falling  I loose myself and let go
His body transformes into an Eagle, I hold on to the Eagle and we fly south

Rainforest, the endless green greets us. Our bare feet on her ground

The sticky, muddy, green. I cover myself in dirt. I know this place. I am naked. 
Leaves, dirt and water touch me

I lead into the forest. The water here looks brown and dark green. There are leaves floating on top, flowers too, golden and blue

A woman arrives, I know her well, but can not remember.
She talks calmly, takes my hand and cleanses me in that water. Her hands feels so thorough and warm. She gently touches my arms, my feet, my back. I cleanse her the same way. Her dark thick hair and skin feels like a vibrant gold when I touch her

I cleanse my friend from the desert and I take away faded marks of a distant city life. The grey and heavy. The rainforest cleanses his toes his fingertips, his mind.
He is fresh and cleansed by the rainforest

He takes me into a cave. The water here looks black. blue, purple and golden.
It feels cold and refreshing. He takes me into the dark water, pushes my head gently under.
I remember I can breathe and the water cleanses me.

The sound from the traffic becomes clearer.
I walk in the streets with the rainforest in my mind. It cleanses. The rainforest  cleanses my mind

Leaves, dirt and water touch me
