just one deep breath
of green mountain air
and a gently gliding wind
woven through my hair
with a golden ray of the sun
shining through my eyes
if only I could have this
and nothing but blue sky
for a mind – cloudless and clear
focused yet serene
to reflect nature’s harmony,
symmetry, her eloquent beauty
through the sheer presence
of my being – to express
grace and power – flawless
like a prima ballerina
like the queen our mother
I may only dream to feel
for a moment
in my finite life
what it might be like
to be as nurturing and fierce
as humble and supreme
as limitless as she is
