Rooting 8 To 5

In the middle of a dense fog night
Imaginary roots were cut down by a lady
Escaping from mental dungeon that dragged in despair
Feeling like a bird that escaped from prison
Tasting the freedom sensed when burdens are thrown

Sunlite Wanter Date: 1/4/2017 7:01:00 PM I had an elderly lady neighbor who is gone now, who spent every day sitting in her front yard pulling weeds. She didn't have that many weeds! I think she was getting rid of the weeds of her mind. I really like your poem.
