Devotion

I lick stars of your sky 
and drink wine sucked out 
of your moons. 
I sniff fragrance off your 
flowers like a saint high
on prayers.

And to be rested in your nest, 
to stroll through your forest 
and to stay soaked in your
fiercely flowing rivers- 

Oh to be drawn into your 
ocean and to refuse to stay 
sober after tasting your salts-
Your mountains make me 
tread and I gasp out of 
my breath. 

Your zenith seems to be 
astronomically far and for 
today, I am satisfied 
with the elegance of your 
foothills, uhh!
