Nature's Mother

I see her rising
like a chestnut on
winter’s eve

Eyes closed
against his brilliance
pores open to his steam

Slowly warming
to perfection as fire
graces her seed

An instant
of germination
humanity can’t see

Burnished hues
leave the scenery
barren forests turn green

Sleeping hollows
resurrect, breathing
magic from streams

I see her falling,
like a chestnut on
midsummer’s eve

Out of place,
yet quite perfect
as she smiles at me

    How did I not comment on this the first time around? Maybe I needed to step back a bit in order to........take it all in!

    Spellbound by it all and not wanting it to end

    I enjoyed this read very much.

    ...Sleeping hollows
    resurrect, breathing
    magic from streams...
    A very impressive line, which compells the reader to imagine...

    Read my snippet titled, "The Mother Goddess"... we share a interest in the sacred aspects of nature.

    It has always been a pleasure reading your work, and this is no exception.
    The thoughts behind the lines are just stunning, and bring a warmth of there own.
    I could go on, but I think all have seen the beauty in this, and also found that some perfect subjects can be portrayed in completely perfect ways. Just like this...brilliant, as always.
