"Cherish Armour"
She
wears
Her armour,
LOVE -
draped like chain mail
shields You
with Her heart
When She is drowning
She will throw You to the sure
safe for Your future
And She will cry of lost children
morbid oblivion,
damnation and desolation
Her tears flood wider
than any vast
deep ocean
Hidden behind Her
'damns' of Courage
and devotion
Her sheer "will"
burns steely
evocation
Deep through skin
to blood and bone
You take Her
Lead -
brandish Your sword
in quiet strength
You march on,
where She
stands
invisible beside You
In cold halls
accused of
absence
You take
all
Her stories
they are all Your
rosaries, gold crucifixes,
silver, diamonds and pearls
And when the time comes,
You are no longer a mere
"Girl",
My sweet unwavering
novitiate
Warrior
Your mother
is in
Your mirror
You see Her standing
proud and tall
through Your windows
Her mother stands beside Her
and Her mother and
Hers and Hers and Hers
You have a vast
powerful army standing
there beside You
And way out in front -
there stands stoic stalwart
You -
One Room -
a fierce, noble, most capable,
strong loyal legion
surrounds You
You lead
with Your
genuflection too,
on bended knee
Your head bows
to Lux Vitae
there is Your
true guide
a paradox through time
They travel from
7th level
to be beside you
A portal
through
the womb
More than 3
Women in armour
standing beside You
Daughters of Mothers
Mothers of Daughters
“Cherish your Armour”
Time
does not truly leave You
Through Black Wars of Roses
The "True" colour reigns
golden, and blue
Her Love
that is -
"All of Her",
in
You
it lives on
and remains living
on and on and on
Cherish Your amour...
through all
the long dark nights
and
all of Your living
and
dying days
in You it lives on
and remains living
on and on and on
LUX VITAE
always beside You
always within You
You are loved
and
you are strong
(Lovejoy-Burton/May 2018)
