Cradled in the Mountain's Arms

With child-like wide-eyed wonder
Her gaze traveled up to find
The giant's gentle grin.

Should she fear him?
Surely not.
That smile was not a crocodile's
But burst with warmth and welcome.

A smile to nurture, not to feed
A smile of caring, not of need

Enveloped in his strong embrace
She sighs and burrows further
Into its sheltering depths.
Safe at last.
Home.
