it is mid-day,
summer heated spring beauty
she walks, aimlessly
devoid of emotion
no stranger to strangers passing by
warm breeze flutters her cotton dress,
dancing with wisps of golden hair,
stranded from the long braid lane softly down her back
resting in lushness of green grasses,
shining raze of sun, warm her milky skin
wide, blue eyes gaze up to a reflecting clear blue empty sky
parched mouth,
she languidly bites into a sumptuous red tomato,
eaten as an apple, the juices slither down her plush lips
gliding the crease of her elongated neck
kissing the ground with nutrients
as bended knee, a glistening pearl of sweat
rolls down the curve of her calf,
she feeds the earth with her existence
as the skies,
listen to her silence
seeping into the ground of which she invades,
comforting strength and growth
solitude and awareness,
she is her Mother’s daughter
a minuscule piece,
of an existence much grander
THAT is a poem!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful dedication to both motherhood and being daughter... I was a daughter before I became A MOTHER MYSELF... and then I loved my mom more than anyone else in the world...
this one left me with a smile at the end...with out her the grander picture would not be complete...
ReplyDeleteA tomato never had it so good. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like this one almost as much as I like your poem about ignoring phone calls.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day

ReplyDeleteBeautiful
'an existence much grander' and on and on. Very clever Kay. I liked 'sumptous red tomato eaten as an apple' that took me by surprise. This poem was a joy! :)
ReplyDeletethat's it, I don't feel bad that I was commenting on other blogs thinking it was you while leaving you hanging (if I posted grander people would correct my grammer, you do it and it's their favorite line, it's art, WTF)
ReplyDelete:) hopefully you sense my sarcasm friend
what a vivid description :)
ReplyDeleteamazing poem!
the last 2 lines tug at my heart-strings
ReplyDeleteMust be great to be a mother to a lovely daughter!

ReplyDeleteI had the title yesterday pm and this morning after your comment I got the text.
It's for you Kay!
you're awesome
ReplyDeleteHey Kay, I see you are still marvelous!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteStrange, I was sure I'd commented on this before. Maybe I was too far transported by it and did something silly. (Sensuous, or what?)
ReplyDeleteAll of it is so lovely & loving, but this is my favorite phrase:
ReplyDelete'wisps of golden hair,
stranded from the long braid'
*blessings
Lovely poem ! Penned down really well :)
