First, I'd like to say welcome to the site!

I've read most of the poems you've posted so far, and I have to say, this one hit me the hardest. You give such depth in your verses, and have an eloquent tone, that I had to sit back and read again. The metaphor of just being a layer of soil, of not having roots yet, and the realization that this is freeing in a way.... it made me think of becoming too tangled in someone else, combining their thoughts and our own until we can't separate one from the other.

You have some fantastic imagery throughout this piece, and I especially noticed how this wasn't "one dimensional". There was growth and a journey you showed the readers, and in the fourth stanza especially, I took it as being admired and drawn into someone, yet revering them too much. Wondering if you made it into something more, if reality became fantasy somewhere along your time together.

I hope more people are able to read your poetry over the next few months. Though you've just joined, please keep sharing!
