The Moist Soil.
After the first shower,
For half an hour,
The smell of the wet soil,
Reached my nose.
It reached my heart.
Ah! You are there.
I know the smell.
It is my dear.
I felt refreshed.
I know that old scent.
A light emotion which the earth only can make.
It is the milky way.
It is the old purity.
What is still there,
Under a veil of all greed and dust.
I know God cares.
Adios!
