Tangled As Roots

Tangled puzzled thoughts
Like thirsty roots seek solace
By liquid waters 
Murmuring serenity
Flowing to eternity

Congratulations on your win, Francis. Your choice of words - "tangled, puzzled," "roots seek solace" - and imagery create a magic and mystical picture. Wonderful tanka! All the best!
