despite cold
and lack of mud
here is happiness
The Awakening Day
gentle as
a mother’s kiss
the touch of dawn
Taking The Day
mother and child
side by side
into the morning mist
Madonna
mother
in granite
nature her child
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
The Look
breath held
drawing strength from stillness
mother eyes the giant intruder
Foundation
mother earth’s
broad shoulders carry
the weight of humanity
Art Nouveau
Inspired iris
with her whiplash curves
and intensity of color
mother of an art movement.
Renewal
Adorned with angel wings
the color of the sky and ringed with time
the stump slowly returns to its beginning
by nurturing its mother – earth.
Baby Bird
Beak like a gum drop, mouth ever open;
always needing and beseeching.
Baby bird, baby bird,
your worm searching mother is tired.
