Root chakra wakes up

Just as Covid-19 attacks my body, breaking me down

*

Is this why I have felt so fragile all my life?

*

Like a leaf on the wind

Separated from the tree that holds its roots,

Floating

Ever so slowly

Toward the ground.

*

The ground is where I want to be.

*

Where my fingers can dig into the rich, fertile soil

Finding home

Where I have never found it before:

*

In the place where I was once a seed
