Day 1199, roots.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1199.jpg

A sea of green

surrounds me

when I fall

in grass

closer

to my roots

~

fear

of unknown eyes

between these roots

is what I meet

down there

~

among the animals

now

in this jungle

made of mirrors

I fear

the eyes

surrounding me

and feel

~

at home
