Whipped cream frosting on a whipped cream cake

My mother, tossing sugar, with the oven set to bake

A once-a-year adventure she'd once agreed to take

I'd sit and watch her work, and dream and contemplate

then after celebration, we'd dig in, without haste

I'd close my eyes in wonder and lose myself to taste

for #OpenWrite

Night skies are glowing with the light of fireflies - summer nights; fading

A quiet morning breaks, as the sky cracks open in beautiful light

Glowing pink lotus; your petals hum with color as you float on air

So, the Orchid sleeps; biding its time in the cold, until Spring unfolds

Furtive, like shadows, they skirt the edge of forests then leap to safety

Gold Chrysanthemums raise their heads in sunlight, a color cluster

On the outside skin: an artwork array of lines - In the inside: seeds

Corn, fields are brimming and reaching high towards the sky; the harvest begins

Reflecting sunlight on the edge of the puddle; shadows and muddle
