Maternity

Maternity

The sun kissed my head,
while I was going no where,
-This is amazing! - I said,
picking up a beautiful flower.

Her smell tickled my lungs,
and her look gave me fever.
Because she knew the rhythms of my favorite songs,
I was the only one who could hear her.

The wind drew
a different face in my face
And the rainbow
slowly discolored my appearance.

I saw a bird,
flying, modeling for a happy sky,
and the cruel rain did not dare,
to make the tiny clouds cry.

Wondering like a tourist,
I started to walk
Through the magnetic forest
who brought me to the nature's heart!

How could I describe a place?
where one could only sense peace,
and where one is not surprised,
to catch the sun, giving a maternal kiss.


I would like to dedicate this work to mother nature, the phenomenon who feeds my creativity. Thanks to all of you who take care of our precious environment.
