Paintbrush blooms, waving in the breeze, polished fingernails of Mother Earth, caressing her voluminous breast.

Paintbrush blooms, waving in the breeze,
polished fingernails of  Mother Earth,
caressing her voluminous breast
dressed in the lace of snow,
out-thrust proudly toward Father Sky -
He - lost in her grandeur, lost in bliss
Lost for all eternity
But awakening
with renewed excitement
in the inner sky
in us.
