Beneath the trees where cool moss grows,
A scarlet cap through autumn glows.
With ivory skin and amber eyes,
She wears the woods in soft disguise.
White specks bloom bright across her crown,
Like warning stars the leaves cast down.
Too strange for gardens, wild for men-
A forest thing time grew again.
In the hush where the raindrops fall,
She stands like moss against the wall.
Wet as moonlight, slow and bright,
A quiet bloom in velvet night.
Leopard spotted, soft and wide,
Like slug-trails where the wild things hide
The leopard slug beneath the dew,
Moves with the earth, not just through.
No crown of hair, no need for flame,
Her skin holds stars without a name.
In storm lit shadows she feels free,
Rooted in rain, in leaf, in tree.
Small beside the towering green,
A gentle queen the dark has seen:
She glows where others rush and run,
A rain kissed world, and she the sun.
Whether you're celebrating your mom, missing her, or learning to be a better one, happy mother's day.
I've had this little one for 2 weeks (their name is Ruki) and they love watching me play, and they've even nodded off trying to stay awake while I do a few times. They can mimic sounds when they're older too so I'm very curious to see if they copy anything from the game later on
