The Midnight Mirror

Day 2. 


๐ŸŒŸ

"Midnight Mirror" is a poem that depicts the arid desert, where living and non-living things seem to secretly communicate through the source of life: water. - Mercy Cat

The Midnight Mirror 

The heart of the
Ecosystem
There is a pool of water
It appears in a barren land

It is a window
To the deep beneath、
The surface
Of the dry sand

Animals and plants
Water, sand, and moonlight
Circulate their senses
Capture their time

It is a moonlight
That provides light
From far above

The golden hour is
The deep night
Quench their thirst
Before the pool of water
Perishes
