This is the first poem I tried to write

Brain Waves

Behind a silent sea
as glass-green as cats’ eyes
I
tried to find

my direction in an alien world
with neither sun nor moon.

I stood between two familiar
sinuous hills, left and right.

I
tried to gauge

the depth
in the empty cavern ahead
hidden in the middle of the hollow hills

And the vein
of fondling trees
with buds and leaves

that retrieve
and perceive
and
criss- cross
the landscape

But I was a traveler
Evolved of the same nature,
Rendered and ruined by its mystery.
