She wanted to wave at it, but she couldn't risk it responding and drawing attention to her.

After a minute he emerged from the alley and waited at a streetcar stop. Amy quickly crossed the street. To #nurture her grasp on his motives she'd have to follow him everywhere. #vss365 #writing

I #nurture Chase back to good health
While rewriting his will in quick stealth
I undo our deal
Because Chase's appeal
Was never about the man's wealth

nurture the fog
that breath of mystery
beckoning seekers

Each day they open up.

Hugged by wind's strength and sun's delight, bloomed.

Nature must #nurture its children as they are the future.

watch the flower brave
cold and storm and
hunger and thirst and
still
it stands, it grows
despite.

don't deprive the hardship,
don't deny the struggle,
lest it never find its petals;
lest it never fully flower.

in nature, in the family,
it's hard; it should be hard.
it has to be.

a quiet garden in May

I #nurture each sprout

as if it were a syllable 

readying itself to speak

it’s green name 

#vss365 Mother Green took in every orphan girl the village abandoned. “Even the unwanted will flourish with enough #nurture,” she said.

Years later, they carried their wands and weapons to the castle gates.

Mother Green had never wanted daughters.

She wanted an army. #Edvane #DarkFantasy

We are human, after all.

We can only give
what we have,
until we receive more,
learn more, grow more,

yet we will still fall short,
even if we strive
so very hard
to nurture that which we brought to life.

We are human, after all.

grace for grace

to hold is to #nurture
warmed by your touch
coming alive
as you skim my skin
folding me into your arms

She took the time to
#Nurture the small birds,
And told the bees
Of loss and joy...
She knew the seasons
By leaf and movement
Of moonlight and air -
Even as age
Bent her bones
She walked the
Hedgerows
Of memory,
Tending the broken things
Sheltering there.

Your birth was a joyous occasion. Never forget that. Your first years were meticulously structured in a loving atmosphere. How could we know that blackness would envelope my mind so thoroughly, inhibiting my ability to #nurture the one I loved the most?
#vss365

How much #nurture
Did I receive?
We’ve all gotta learn
To love ourselves

How much hope
In the human heart
Before we take our gifts
Down off the shelves?

Are you inspired
By a tree in the woods?
Or by a book
That bleeds a true story?
