Lazy afternoon

Hair falls down her back
Alike to that of satin and silk
Knotted and tangled
The wild mane of a brumby
Flowing down its muscular neck
Well travelled across the wide planes of our earth

But on this particular day
The chestnut locks lay at rest
Dropped to the side of a slender pale neck
Relaxing in comfort

Curls drift down a bare back
Tips gently caressing
Feather light and bouncy
The volumes tickle her spine

The afternoon sun pours through the window pane
But besides the filtered bird calls
There is silence
Only the soft steady rhythm of breaths can be heard
As the little child rests

It has been a long day
