Here are the words of the poem, in text:

I’m going out now to wander
where the knowing like to go
to immerse in folds of Earth
To feel the mist settle
the breeze caress my face
To part the moldering leaves
expose the fertile ground
To inhale the rich scent of nurture

We embrace, skin to skin
My hear swells
She draws my stress free
unburdens my soul
and gives unto the knowing
that all is well

All is well
and life goes on
