Penitent

 

I want to feel like

Something small

Not shriveled

Rather folded up

Like some leaves while resting

 

I’m hoping for a second skin

(protection,

only natural)

Of noises in a sun-washing field

That kind of peace, no other

 

Just now and for a while

Brief or long

(but it could be long)

May I have this, please

A low-angle photo to give an unusual perspective of the wild daisies which appear every spring along the West Coast in South Africa. Nature at its most colorful time!
