The Seed

She herself abandoned her inner self lost to someone somewhere in a shower of dreams... gifts given from heaven by her shunned...for these were not enough... these gentle reminders yet ever powerful...buried pain... ...of how her children came to be... the wander of a past banished...her spirit strew- embattled...and damaged... ...she conceded her courage and her conscience... and settled for self sabotage- a trail abusive carnage... ...onlooking seeds identified... her seeds uncontaminated... yet their lives marred with emotional discrete... ...the seeds themselves some planted would through out their lives retreat... for two of four no man no woman to ever come between... these lessons not ever to repeat for only sadness does one meet... ...to accept abandon, discard, or set free... we survived by regrowrh...this pain replaced with new seed... successful loving family... no man...to bring us under... no man no woman in between... born without insight... my mother prisoner of her own stupidity... without selfish incantation... I will not abandon my legacy I will not abandon me... for abandoned, discarded, call it what you will... ...I embrace with courage... with good conscience... ...my spirit was set free...
