Petrichor
Soft gravely dirt
Stretched and scathed
Bare of flora
Bones of fauna
Piercing earthly hide
A drop of sky
Will swirl and mix
To fix the broken ground
The dry groans
Muffle
Wet with mud
And bear the fruits
Of tender time
Seeping past the fault
So thus the Earth was shifted
Soil sifted
In Gaia's mighty hands
