I Know a Place

To phylum Ocimum basilicum belongs basil, Into genus, Corylus included the plant hazel; If purslanes, cattails, chickweeds, and wild carrots have their base, Why can't I, in the universe vast, have and know my place...? Might be like a minute gleam; or a shining bright sunbeam; Might be like an oasis stream; or a nocturnal scream; Like a buzzing butterfly; or a dazzling dragonfly; Like a fox, cat, or rat... to nature's ways, I might comply...! Not my ego, like a lotus, my psyche will stand high, And fraternally pass my fragrance to the passersby; Even an inch enough, I'm not saying out of my pride, I know a place - my place, my space, my nest - where I'll abide...!!! 29 May 2023
