wild comfort
September 18, 2010
I walk tiredly to my mother tree stump
as she wraps her arms around me
and shields me from the world
she loves me withe her heart
and I sleep into her
the sun wakes me gently
brushing back my hair
I smile and he smiles back
just as brightly
the mud covers my feet as I run
the mud runs with me
its in front of me, in the back
and the sides surround me
I breath in life and out
failure, where I am from there is
none
even the dark is my friend
hiding me from the real world
I'm safe by the wild
comfort of home

We never know how big we are until we are asked to rise.
this is great, especially the irony and imagery. the last four stanzas were worded kind of oddly, and there was one typo, "I Breathe and out failure . . ." but the first two stanzas were perfect. the second stanza was my favorite. good job, keep writing!
