In this original painting Ciel captures Mother Nature's gentle understanding in rich hues of earth and sky against a rough and rugged backdrop. Flowering vines weave through her blue updo and a glistening bird sings from within her shimmering strands as Mother Nature's crystal-clear gaze softly assures that our struggles are an integral part of life's splendid tapestry. 

"Mother Nature"

Tell me softly, mother dear, 
that the path ahead is clear. 
Tell me I will live fore'er
tell me you will always care.

Gaze at me and soothe my soul
as I slip down time's black hole.
Please persuade me all is good,
life is working as it should.

Tell me that the landing's soft,
that our pleasures will be oft.
Give to me the gift of love
better than I can dream of.

Wrap me in obsidian
Fling me to oblivion.
You have earned my utmost trust
that we're doing what we must.

~Ciel
