Mother Nature
October 6, 2011
I sit on her lap
and pretend I’m a
child once more
Her worn brown soil skin
feels soft
and comforting
The leaves and branches
shiver as she hums
to me lullabies
A round wet tear
plops on my
flushed cheek
We are then silent together
content together
alive together
She is my only mother
I could stay with her forever
My hand on the ground
