Nourished: #Reverb13

Prompt:  What made your soul feel most nourished this year?
 
 
 I gulp down seasons
thirsty for transformation
for renewal and change

I bathe in moonlight
sprinkle myself with stardust
and clothe myself with nature

I slough away tension
with tree bark and stones
dry autumn leaves and pine cones

I shake off pain
like droplets of rain
filling myself with birdsong
 
and in these moments
in the breathing
 my soul is nourished
 
Sorry that I haven't been around as much lately.
Mum is visiting from the UK and its been hard to find computer time.
