The Root – (Tanka Tuesday #283)
Quietly sit and visualise,
Feel the wind, hear the birds, touch the land,
Recharge; walk bare foot on grass,
The foundation of life.
Ruddy roots revered,
Keep us grounded,
To the earth,
Secure,
Safe.
(Nonet)
Poem prompted by Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Challenge #283. This week, the challenge is to Taste the Rainbow … If you, too would like to join in click through for the rules, tips and future prompts.
Fantastic, Laura. And I love how this can be read bottom to top as well as top to bottom! Bravo 💕🙂
