She Introduces Herself 

She feels connection with a flower
that floats unplanted,
without soil or roots, a ghost,​

with a fragile existence,
choosing to remain unseen,
content to be found

opening its white petals
like leaves of a sacred book,
more air than matter.

She is not the kind
who prefers solitude,

still, like the Ghost Orchid
she finds herself floating
between before and after,
waiting, not to be found
but to find for herself
a place for new roots.
