~ Soil Earth ~

Iranian Workers
Originally uploaded by HORIZON

I live the earth
Knowing it will outlive me
On a terrain of river
That had fell on me
Follow happiness as it poured
Nowhere except in me
Now find it all over my face
Lush happiness through my soil
Know that I'm a man
Who simply lived the earth
Carrying on my soil:
Mountains and rivers
If it flows or trembles down
I will be the soil to embrace it back
So the earth is me even if I'm gone
