Dissolve

Dissolve Mother sits by the window After freeing herself from her household chores. Fresh and peaceful She is all by herself. She looks out at the clear blue sky Enjoying the streaks of sunlight dancing at her feet. She picks up her favourite wooden needles Working them in and out, Warping in love and and woofing out Cabled patterns on father's wintry scarf. A silent smile round the corner of her berry lips, As she prides over her familial love. It is Her time, for Her very own being, A time to disconnect From all entanglements of life. Past adjustments, the present solutions, future ambitions, Zoom past in a flash, and Dissolve. And then the mind goes blank Into a state of nothingness- No thoughts, no desires no regrets. The prattle and gurgle on the wooden staircase, Wake her out of her reverie. She jumps to her feet, With electrifying speed Puts her knitting back into her cashmere bag, Runs to unbolt the front door, finding Two smiling elfins with upturned faces, outstretched hands, Going down till their amorous eyes, holds one in each arm, and All ambiguities dissolve.
