Curiosity

how many steps
to the edge of the world
she wants to know

small feet press on
each foot forward
taking her closer to

destination unknown
undeterred, unwavering

asking the same question
though she knows
I have no answer

though I am
mother

Growing Feathers

we were wingless
until we knew love

our breathless breath
lifted us
into rainbows

eagle-like we soared
fearless and bold

flapping newfound wings
feathers soft as gossamer

and        it was then
we understood
the lightness of being

A Mother Learns – 4 Haiku by Neetu

A Mother Learns

4 Haiku

  • gossamer  touch,
    mother strokes her newborn–
    feathered beginnings
  • young buds awaken
    sleepy petals shake off dew
    silver mist of dawn
  • roots grow deep
    where we plant seeds of love
    becoming  evergreens
  • each arm a strong branch
    holds up against mighty storms–
    a mother’s instinct
