" The Land Remembers Before I Do " By Jacky Kapadia Before my thoughts can gather into name, the soil has traced the story of my feet; it knows the weight I carry, where I came, and folds my wandering back into its beat. The wind repeats what silence cannot keep, in dialects of dust and bending grain; it reads the vows I buried far too deep, and lifts them gently, whispering again. Each stone records the hours I never claimed, the paths I left unwalked, yet still were mine; in roots and rivers, nothing goes unnamed— time writes in earth a more enduring line. So when I pause, unsure of who I’ve been, the land speaks first, in truths both old and true: you were always written here, within— the land remembers, long before you do. ==================END=================== #PremiumPoetry, #ElitePoetry, #PoetryLovers, #SoulfulPoetry, #DeepPoetry, #MeaningfulWords, #LiteraryArt, #ModernPoets, #PoetryCommunity, #WritersOfInstagram, #InstaPoetry, #PoetryDaily, #PoemOfTheDay, #EarthPoetry, #NatureInspired, #LandAndSoul, #RootsAndIdentity, #TimelessWords, #EmotionalDepth, #PhilosophicalPoetry, #MindfulWriting, #CreativeExpression, #ArtOfWords, #PoetryGram, #ViralPoetry, #ExplorePoetry, #LuxuryContent, #PremiumContent, #HighValueContent
