Let Mother’s Song Embrace You

image

And when you listen,
Listen good–
Let Mother’s song embrace you.
She has the perfect hum
To vibrate right to the soul
And soften the shell required
To survive among
The animals of society.
Her tune will gracefully
Float high at the inhale and
Take root at exhale. If you feel
At ease…it has been done
The way she intended.

I Say “I Love You”, Just In Case

image

Life flows at a predictable pace,
But I say “I love you”, just in case…
See the look flit ‘cross your face,
Wrap your arms around my waist,
I am warm in your embrace.
Pull my chin up, take a taste.
Please don’t rush, ’cause there’s no haste.
I don’t need to leave this place…
