I've been here before.
I've walked past mountains high,
watched rivers meander slowly across barren plains.
I've seen suns rise and set, and heard the sound of rustling leaves.
I've smelled the air, full of all that grows and is,
and let moist earth sift sweetly through my fingertips.
I've felt cool breezes blow, and marvelled silently on a star-filled night.
I was!
I am!
And I'm yet to be, I am free, yet confined for eternity.
I've been here before!
