My Mother is Nature

The fountain of God’s love 

Her thighs are the roots of cotton trees 

And the ground on which my feet first tasted 

 

Her hands are the gravity that held me 

When I thought I could fly without wings 

Her fingers still taste like raindrops on my heated body 

 

The circulated winds from her nostrils breathe life 

In her smiles, I see twinkling stars 

Beautiful flowers from the top of Everest 

 

In her veins, I see oceans upon oceans 

Oceans that tide with the peaceful hands of waves

Her face holds the brightness of the sun 

As it escorts itself every morning

 

In her eyes, I see winging butterflies being chased by blue jays 

And tigers happily racing with antelopes 

As the branches of her eyelashes stand tall above

 

Her chest holds waterfall canals 

That flow down from mountains built in heaven 

In the heart of nature, I see jewelries 

Gold and diamonds that smile with love

 

She is as green as Amazon forest 

The sky shows her eyes

And her body is Sahara 

Nature lives in her
