I get high
so I can see my lows
and recalibrate their frequencies.
I get as elevated
as my vibrations
so I can flow freely
as the smoke pluming from my herbs,
and meander across the air
like the steam rising from my coffee.
I ascend higher in myself
because I walk tall
and sitting low
is uncomfortable.
I inhale flowers because
I nurture and nourish myself the same as my garden;
feeding body, soul and melanin
with water, [sun]light, and air.
I toke leaves and buds
because it’s in my nature
to grow –
And when the beautiful seeds of creation take root within,
and branch out,
I have infinite room for their expansion.
I breathe (in) these healing vapors
to hydrate my mind
and purify my body
as I connect with [my] Spirit;
Meditation the energetic playground
through which my inner child
flits and frolics.
I smoke trees
to oxygenate my inner space
and circumvent the vacuum of
rumination and confusion.
