Open World

I grasped for soil and sea, and so opened the Earth
Molten and liquid rock pulling me down and pushing me up
Torrid veins connected took me away to foreign lands
Beauty never before beheld by the likes of saints nor a man

I love how much you include poetry in your worldbuilding. I used to try to do the 30 poems in 30 days challenge in April. Maybe I should try again, and do everything in-world.

I'm by no means a poet, but I appreciate what poetry contributes to a setting. Just imagine how many songs and poems there are in the real world, and how prominent they are and always have been. Awfully strange if there are few to none in the worlds we write about. I encourage all poetic additions, and I'd say you should turn that "maybe" into a "definitely".   Thanks for stopping by!
