Jason: The Boy Born From Earth
I thoroughly believe you were born from Earth.
How else does one explain the way grass bows before your feet,
Or the way your fingers command flowers to bloom.
How with a smile the tide comes rushing in,
And with a laugh, a tsunami kisses your ankles.
I have heard orchestras of birds dedicate songs to you.
And ever since the day you opened your eyes,
The sky has fought to be more blue.
Before you go to bed,
Your mother wraps you in a sunset and sends a choir of frogs and crickets to sing you a lullaby.
As soon as you fall asleep
The stars wake up.
I tell them about you.

This is really, really beautiful, Lyla. I can tell you love and admire this person very much based on your writing alone. Is it your son which you refer to here?
"I have heard orchestras of birds dedicate songs to you.

A gorgeous stanza!
That is my favorite part. The beauty of birdsong has always captivated me...
See, I have always seen this natural realm as a living orchestra.
Each animal, each bird, each cricket, all playing their part,
In this great orchestra of nature's design...
I like how you've framed the world in this piece... the way you perceive the world revolving around him
Really goes to show him important he is to you!
Excellent writing, once again, and best wishes to you,

Thank you so much for reading! This poem is actually written about my fiancé, though I see how people can interpret it as maternal. He is the love of my life and my world really does revolve around him.
I’ve always heard nature as an orchestra as well.
Cheers!

This is beautiful to have someone who is loved so much to the point of being worshipped in this way.
True love in words and deeds.
The subject of this poem needed to be told so that he could continue to appreciate you even more.
