Notes About The Poem

A Thing Of Beauty part II

A Thing Of Beauty part II

‘The Mother’  The First Generation

The Me alas breaks free
claims my true pedigree
my lineage, my essence
who I was, who I am, who I shall always be
Of two generations après Moi
in awe how they've succeeded 
I drink from the fonts of my true nature
Nectar indulging deeply into my delicious sustenance 
Quenching a thirst for true belonging
Sturdily balanced upon a steady course
A radiant surge satiates my being
An abundance, a cornucopia of profusions— 
my cup runs over—to be savored and shared
upon lips of those who yearn to imbibe
The Me alas breaks free

An exotic and charming family on display. A 3-D 3 generational tribute, a cherished panoramic ode, composed with dash, depth, and love!

An effusively written piece Anaya, and no holding back either, such moments are rare to come across in one’s life, but we all deserve explosions of self worth however fleeting they may be, so yes it is a thing of beauty, when alas the me breaks free, Cheers David

TyVm, David! Penning with disparate words of thought, for the beauty in motherhoods' generational influence, I suppose. A new project, so whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms. Cheers!
