She said—
thank you.

I said—
for what.

She said
no reason—
only the way sky
doesn't suddenly fall
the way small fires
undo the lonely cold—
all that
and everything else.
I know that sometimes
I can be difficult,
even a bit frustrating,
but just know that
I still love you
and always will.
Inspiration
needs no cause—
a spark flung
with no match
no applause.

It just strikes—
because.

Or maybe
for every
reason
between—
the space
between a seed
and its stem.
I stool in front of the mirror
Looked at myself for long,
Whilst two pair of eyes sat on the bed and looked at me lovingly,
I turned this way and that way,
Am I beautiful I mumbled,
Are my eyes big,
Are my lips thin,
Have I a captivating smile,,
I looked at my physique,
Seems okay.
Then I felt two pairs of arms around my waist,
Mum we love you,
You are you,
Unique,
You are beautiful from deep within.
That is your worth.

Doves flap their wings,
as this little angel sings
circling this little talent
of a circle of so ancient
White wings in the sky
They say a lil goodbye
Crushed are emotions
that are felt so forever.
