Strong Apron Strings and Paintbrushes

Like hungry wolves with ribs showing, men huddle at her heels.

Waiting for any little drop of inspiration from her paintbrush.

Like a wet dog shaking its coat droplets spray everywhere.

Bluffing they have the power and not the need.

Every woman has mother's potential  for nurturing , feeding , nourishing.

Where does Inspiration to paint come from? Why is painting sacred?

Why are they  so hungry for mother's attributes and blessings?

Is it because she is a creator , to carry and grow a soul inside her?

To carry , bear nurture and raise many souls for generations to come.

So then how is painting and creating  akin to the creation of childbearing?
