Happy in nature
my mother
a real smile
not forced from habit
hands embracing gifts
from the earth
treasures to take home
with the excitement of a child
you hold to your womb
your rocks,
sticks and bits of string
My mother in nature
so strong on the outside
heart breaking on the inside
back to simpler times
back to the woods
back to collecting
rocks, sticks and string
Back to my mother
in nature
back to the joy of a child
in the womb
two hearts beating
beating
beating
beating
as one
