The roots of the earth
hug and kiss secretly
and the sand is happy to see
those secret hugs and kisses.
The desire for a secret romance
wells up in their hearts
and the sand around the roots
begin to hug.
They are busy now
hugging and kissing
in royal romance.
The poet saw it,
was tickled and smiled.

Quite original and unique. I always thought of twisted roots in a sinister way strangling the very life out of adjacent vegetation, yet you have a very touching romantic perspective I like it much better that they are busy now hugging and kissing in royal romance It takes a poet like you to see and appreciate it, - tickled and smiling

I would like to translate this poem
And I too smile reading this, Tony! All the life that is nurtured below in the ground and below our gaze but carrying on without us! —like the breath we breathe and the healing of our bodies. -Glen
