Imprinted

Fay Slimm.

 Imprinted.


Home

is an image seared over the soul,

natal attachment ties each heart to the whole. 

  

Nests

mother fledglings in feathered embrace  

yet ocean hatchlings seek fins and fish faces.      

       

Burrows

are dens under wind sheltered rocks

where furry parents nurse new moles or foxes.

  

Caring

impressions cleave close to fresh lives,

when meant love rules offspring will thrive over time.

   

Birthlings

need care as all nature can show,  

imprinted forever that first welcome to home.
