Can you feel me?
Beyond what your eyes can see
Beyond the warmth you feel when you touch my flesh
Beyond every molecule that comprises the essence of my entire being
Can you feel me?
Can you understand the complexity?
The complexity of the simplest things
The simplest things that compose me
The very quintessence of who I am
Can you understand the complexity?
You know
Each forest contains a collection of trees
Each tree has bark which covers its interiors and root like a wool jacket in the winter
And each tree has leaves that change colors as the seasons pass by
We see these things
But we forget to acknowledge the cambium which brings true life
That’s what I want you to understand about me
I want you to recognize the smallest particles in my body
The particles that allows me to continue to grow
Cultivate me
Nourish me
Understand me
And then with you
I can grow
So again I ask
Can you feel me?
Can you feel me beyond what your eyes can see?
Beyond the warmth of my skin?
Beyond the tissue and bones that make me human?
Can you understand the complexity?
The complexity of the simplest piece of me?
The very quintessence of who I am?
If not
Then you shall never know my true beauty
For I want you to recognize the smallest particles in my body
The particles that allows me to continue to grow
And in your recognition you will see the growth that your eyes cannot see
You will understand the complexity of the simplest aspect of me
And once you get to that very point
You will finally feel the deepest part of me
