The reflection in the pond
of the five flowers that bloomed on the bank
displayed like towers to my floor level frame.
Surrounded by the dirt and decomposed,
and the water swamping my sorrowed leaves
I slept hard as a bear
That eats so much food in a dark cave,
What no one notices all the time,
My ears can hear, but I have weary tears;
Beyond the walls, there is so much fear,
Never have I stared at the leaves of a tree for so long.
Listened to the acorns dropping from above.
Felt among the stars in my loneliness.
For I am in search of something, some balance.
