Somber Silt

I am of the land.

The rolling hills,

the somber silt,

which you saw

into the earth.

I will remain with you

Until you see my body

fade into the valley far below,

a place that I have come to know.

With the world spinning down

look around.

I stand with you.

You have not lost me.

I am the somber silt

in the land you till.
