Would I be wrong in thinking this a love poem, Suzanne, even though it’s not explicitly one? I definitely relate to the need for, the importance of, touching the earth. There are lines here I particularly like—dip my feet in the flow is mellifluous and melodic and expresses a lyricism that runs like a current through this poem. -Glen
Hi Glen, Yes, I suppose it is, but the other person could be a husband or a parent or a brother or sister or a friend. The point for me is that in order for me to really lose myself in my thoughts or meditation or search for higher truths, I need someone who can take care of the business of (metaphorically) finding water, building a fire, rationing the food. It is also the longing of any seeker for a guide.
