Beyond Reach

Beckoned by love, allured by memories,
Embracing missives of delightful dream
Engrossed in sphere of halo mesmerizing
Surrounding her aura in ornate gold ring,
She lifted-off gaily into ethereal, heavenly,
Way beyond reign of mortal melancholy
That gripped her soul in unbearable grief.

Enthralled she floated on feelings angelic
As she swirled, danced on magical wings,
Visiting lustrous nebulae hanging mirthfully
Amid magenta clouds’ resplendent motifs;

A kingdom of happiness, of eternal paradise,
An escape to wonderland fit for a child,
Just like her mother had once described
Where love always blossoms garden of joy.

Flexing exuberance, she queried the stars,
Until she came upon the brightest of all,
And recognized the most reassuring smile
Peering fondly into mother’s loving eyes
Nesting in her breasts, savoring her breath,
Longing every touch, reveling every pulse,
Blissful in endearment of realm sublime
Reconnecting enamored memories divine
Cradled in mother’s arms till end of time.

Wow! Beautiful imagery, and that in itself makes this fine work worthy of POTD~ but here, also I relate to love profound and everlasting. The parting of a beautiful earth being, once again comforted, after much suffering, back in the protected, saintly arms of an equally blessed mother, in God's divine presence in heaven -- if I have this right. Magnificent, heart-felt poetry! I know what it is to lose someone so dear to my soul.

Vijay Pandit

The theme given was about a child contemplating--in my version, the child is missing her mother and finds her in heaven where she wishes to stay forever in mother's arms. Your comments are on mark, as always, my friend. Much appreciate your visit and comments, Joe. Many thanks.
