Rammed Earth is made by, well, ramming earth! It’s a laborious meditation - before I was enlightened I chopped wood and carried water, after I was enlightened, I chopped wood and carried water. Work is work is work. Might as well put it into something you love.

In that room of solid earth, I lay my head to rest,
18 inches thick, those walls, a fortress, the very best.
Beneath the weight of the world, my troubles fade away,
As I sink into the comfort, where dreams and darkness play.

The earth, my silent sentinel, guards me through the night,
In its ancient, sturdy embrace, everything feels right.
No storm, no wind, no worldly care can breach this sacred space,
As I find solace in the stillness, in this quiet, earthy place.

Lizard on warm earth,
Rammed and steady, love it finds,
Nature’s bond displayed.

The earthen walls stood, silent and strong,
Rammed by hands that toiled, all day long.
Layers of soil, in colors arrayed,
Nature's artistry, each stroke displayed.

Imperfect perfection, the structure so pure,
Each stratum of history, a tale to endure.
As sunbeams danced, upon the walls,
Whispering secrets of ancient halls.

The earth, compressed, an artist's delight,
Mingling hues, from dark to light.
Time's gentle hand, etched lines so fine,
Witness to generations, a tale intertwined.

In every imperfection, a beauty unveiled,
For in rough edges, stories are hailed.
The weathered facade, a testament true,
To resilience and strength, it imbues.

Rammed earth, humble and serene,
A testament to what nature can mean.
In its layers lie secrets, untold and vast,
A testament to the beauty that forever will last.
