Jinah Oh

Flower Child

You sat nestled in the chocolate Earth
Reaching for your nuturing mother.
Her majestic arms spread across the sky,
As flecks of her joy bounced off every surface.

Your sun soaked limbs
Caressed the sky’s early morning tears,
Each one a prism of gleaming light.

Everyday I came to
Quench your thirst, keep you
Standing tall.

I forgot only once.
