Sweet midnight burgundy blooms
Like lilies over cornstarch skies
A light mist of snow dusts the air
And floats upon delicate petals like rain
Water flowing through natural hair
Beautiful fields of autumn colors
Catch light like a painter's canvas
Streams of black red navy blue & chocolate
In the darkest hue
The strength of lemon yellow
Gentle like grass green
Mother's touch like babies breath
Caresses like soft words
Against a child's chest
Love so effortlessly
Loving so effortlessly

I swear you were a mummy in a past life. Love so effortlessly...yep I guess that sums it up beautifully...also bight your tongue when you want to scream lmao...oh wait...maybe that's just me!
LOVE is no doubt the most beautiful feeling we humans can get to feel and yet-No love can be compared with that of a mother to her kid...
Sharp descriptions and soft beautiful flow. A lullaby any baby would love to hear.
Thank you guys! appreciate it :)
You have summed up a feeling that can seldom be expressed through words alone. Nothing compares to motherhood, and to know true, sincerely unconditional love is amazing! Wonderful images come together to do just that. Thank you.
Thank you natasha :)
Did you fall in love? This is such a departure from your usual topics but no difference in the intensity of your voice. Very soft, a lullaby, a tribute to love. Beautiful my dear Anthony.
Exemplary bustle shot through with tenderness. Great piece.
I put up the photo for my tiger-girl poem ("Edinburgh Zoo"), per your (and several others') request/s.
