I’m standing in the middle of my garden, 

small and special,

like an ancient idol, hidden for centuries 

by the luxuriant vegetation 

which grew in the ruins 

of a long-lost city.


The thick foliage moves like water, 

self healing around me,

showing no traces of my passing through its world.


I feel immortal in this ephemeral, endlessly morphing state of nature, as I watch life replicate itself into eternity.
