hunting in the dark
mushrooms are blooming everywhere
and I’ve not yet fallen asleep
it’s intense out in the fields
stars & supersonic sounds concealing
nearly dead brain waves coming back to life
it’s as if you’ve walked through here before
creating space & carving new paths
careful not to disturb the peace

Beautiful poetry! I especially love the first few lines.
thank you so much Lucy
Interestingly enough, yesterday I was walking around the property and came upon a lone morel mushroom! It was beautiful and felt meaningful.
Wow, that is interesting!
This was lovely. Hope you are doing well. Is lockdown over in your place?
thank you Padmini ~ all is well here thank you for asking and yes we are gradually opening ~ hoping all is well with you and yours
Yes. We are good. The lockdown has just been eased here…not completely though.
Undoubtedly beautiful piece! Stay safe and keep writing.
Thank you so much and likewise.
