snuggle doving

Please No CSS

spirit soaring

inward visiting a smile

that is forever

and all the while,

hurricanes, fires, and floods

worry the earth.

 

child dreams

remembering mother

warm kiss and

replacing no other,

scrapes, falls, and crying

beg relief in sleep.

 

singing high

and far away lilting

a romantic promise

awaking flower wilting,

knocking, knocking, and pleading

answer me now.

 

laugh quietly

little sweet one loving

while no one knows me

waves crash, snuggle-doving,

pounding, whispering, and carrying

you Home.
