Mother Nature

My partner and love of my life will soon give birth to my second son. With great joy I share this portrait of her. Hope you like it.

//// Have you ever gazed up at a tall tree? Have you ever touched the roots of a century old tree? Have you ever felt the earth move as you lay under her shade, To feel the breeze on your skin and watch the fine hairs sway on your arms, She will shelter you from the sun, Her leaves will protect you, But she won't deprive you, not ever, See as you lay in between all her beauty, She'll give you glimpses, You may need to squint, slightly, But she'll show you your sun, She'll show you your moon, She'll show you your stars, You just have to peak, Peak through her leaves, Listen to her wind, Let her breeze whisper in your ear, And let mother nature, Set you free.
