Deep in the alcove
Of my being
I find an image
Within an image
Rediscovering myself
A facsimile
Adding only strength
Small
And still sure
That is my endeavor
I look within
For amity and strength
For conversations
With only me
As an audience
I find myself and
Smile…
I am the Matryoshka
Wooden beauty in the outside
Subtlety and charm
Moisten my core
On the inside.
