Roots

 I want to set down my roots

Somewhere

In some place

In some person

I want

To dig deep

Take in the rich, 

loamy

nutrients

Feed and be fed

Nourish and be nourished

I want a space

To go deep within

Where I can escape

The cacophony of the world

To sleep, to lie

To hibernate, 

To gather strength

To contemplate

To muse

To be silent, and yet be at peace

 

Yes, I want to set down my roots

And you offer me

A flowerpot
