If I sank into the earth, what would become of me?

I feel so heavy above ground.

Would I grow into something huge, like these sequoia trees?

Or a sweet and friendly daisy?

Do daisies know they’re kind?

Maybe I’d be a simple blade of grass, a dog could chew on me for tummy aches.

Would I remain dirt?

How deep would I sink, maybe I get sucked down to the crust.

Would gravity have mercy.

I want to be near the top, so I can hear laughter, feel rain and the scorch of summer.

Dirt is full of nutrients, minerals.

It is not some little filthy thing, maybe I should aspire to be dirt.

Help other things grow.
