Since then, I let time to consume my nights and my days.
And to save myself from overheating due to scorching rays
I entered into the deep of ground beneath my feet.
It saved me from extra colour and from unbearable heat.
Now, I’m growing with colourless roots of different trees.
Not to show my robustness; but, to be one of the filigrees.
