...I can feel...

I can feel

I lay on the ground
My belly on the Earth
I press my ear to it tightly
My hands on the ground
Palms on the ground

I lay on the ground so I can feel

Breath smoothly
Listen to the sounds of my surroundings
Listen and feel my heart beating
I take a deep breath and think

I lay on the ground so I can feel the world

I don’t close my eyes
But I visualize the world
Not the bad things and the crime
But the planet circling the sun and spinning
At first I don’t know what it is
But then I finally realize what this strange feeling is
I’m moving

I lay on the ground so I can feel the world moving

I can feel the planet turning, I can feel it turn
I shouldn’t be able to feel it
But the moment is there
Slowly and slightly

I lay on the Earth so I can feel it moving, and all of a sudden, I feel small.

The feeling of being small is not a bad one
But it makes me feel calm
I feel part of something big
I feel like I belong
This is a strange feeling
I feel like I can almost…

I lay on the Earth so I can feel it moving, and all of a sudden, I feel small. I feel the world; I feel the universe around me. I feel small, but inside I feel big.

No guys I am not going crazy.

I just had this really weird moment as I was trying to figure out what to say in this stupid science essay. So I just laid there on the ground on my stomach with my hands on the ground and I started to do these breathing techniques for relaxing and then I started to think about the world and how it moves and stuff and WOW I had this really weird/hard to describe feeling/moment that was really... weird. I swear I could feel the earth turning ever so slightly... and... well I will stop there so you don't think I'm crazy. I just had to make a free-verse-no-structure-or-rhyme poem out of it. I know it does not rhyme and no visible structure but try to enjoy the meaning and art of it.

No crit please... I'm very sensitive about my writing... I don't usually like sharing it with other people. I'm very self-conscious bout it because it is my personal thoughts and feelings.
