Mother

Quatern of Nature

Swaying gleefully, flowers dance
to that windy beat that mother
sets with her feet, rhythm alive
in euphoric souls. Set Aside

by those calling it home, flowers.
Swaying gleefully, flowers dance
for a sun entranced by mother's
rainbow hues and various views.

The salted wind leaves, trees set still,
for an arriving chill sets in.
Swaying gleefully, flowers dance
for full moons trance, while paws brush past.

Mother tears up as sunrise comes,
that daily, when due, she will cry
for motion, beauty, for flowers.
Swaying gleefully, flowers dance.
