Briefly

Briefly Poem

A bear roams in my shadow

Transforming my breath

Into growls

When I am out in the woods

Gathering ginseng

Watching ants

Singing with fairies under

A canopy of

Emerald drops.

Home again. Human

No shadow.

    Ooooh! I like this one – giving confidence and doing things freely. This sounds very magical at the same time too. Just going through nature, being free and being all natural. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece!
