The Poem that inspired this piece, "Make Yourself at Home"

Grass welcomes the bottoms of your feet; lush jade comforting the spaces between your toes and musk from the woods fills your nose

You've been here before 

Fungi breaks through fallen branches, their forms growing elegantly before your eyes

Bark begins to split and break for the strange matter to consume and claim its ground

The forest blanket awakens to tickle the soles of your feet and urges your body forward, the opening that let you in entangles itself closed behind you

Vines submerge from the bed of earth and wrap around the oak giants, the soft evergreens and their fungal residents

We've been waiting 

The whispers stay close to your ear, a soft breath that starts at the tip of your ear and runs miles down your spine

The beautiful forms that grew from the organs of the trees are suddenly sprouting in your palms

Your arms have become vines of ivy and roots have taken over your legs and the veins that once ran under your skin, plunging into the ground, so far deep through the earth that it could touch the waves of the ocean who's whispers send your eyes to rest

Make yourself at home
