POETRY | By Lynda Anaya 

[Note: This was the winning entry in the 2nd Annual Women Inspirational Poetry Contest organized by Oneal Walters]

Lady is a flower;
stem strengthened by life,
 
tresses, petal soft
flowing in gentle breezes
catching clandestine sparkle
 
of falling constellations.
 
Appearing almost fragile;
her scented skin glowing
as moon shines, faintly
 
jealous of her light.
 
She basks in the afterglow
of accomplishment
 
singing lullabies to sleepy eyes,
still unaware of the strength
hiding behind soft eyes;
 
love fluttering within every blink
of feathered lashes.
 
*** 

Poet's Note: My poem is dedicated to my Mom and all Mothers whose love carries us through life upon a wing and a smile!
