He Smells of Earth

6/24/2018

0 Comments

 
As I lay here
His body curled warm against mine
My face
Buried into his mousey hair
Soft as Silk

He smells of Earth
And of Sunshine
Mixed with the sweetness
Of little boy sweat
My nostrils take it all in

A fun filled day behind him
He sighs
Beneath half closed lids
His dark blue eyes peer up at me
So blue, so wise

Like deep pools
They sparkle in the last light of evening
Within them
A knowing, a peace
An unspoken, all-trusting love

His small dirt encrusted hand
Lay, oh-so-gentle, on my breast
Breasts that nurtured and comforted him
The first four years of his life
No longer nourishment, yet comfort still

Warm
Soft
Home


I'm sure he feels the familiar pum-pum
My heartbeat
A sound he knows well
As much a part of him as it is me
Touch, sounds, smells

Familiar
Comfort
Love


As I lay here
His lips curl into his sweet smile
His eyes flutter and gently close
Another sigh of contentment
My face again buried into his hair

The Earth
The Sun
A hint of lemongrass
Sweet sweat
A wisp of dinner on his cheek

I breathe him all in
His breath is soft and even
I kiss his head
Whispering words of love
And we sleep

A reminder
Savor every moment
Cuddle & hold them
They grow so fast

He is always finding heart rocks
This one discovered Summer Solstice Eve
