When I Hide
written by: Sonnet Mondal

Sometimes I hide
by sitting under a tree
allowing its shade
to possess my shadow.
I inhale a dream
of an anonymous cosmos
cuddling a crying infant
in its ever-deepening lap.
My shadow gets lost in its branches
and my emotions fade out
to the rapture of the wild.
