Falling, Falling

                           I catch a soft murmur,
          in my night hallucination;
  placid words and articulation of Mom,
               as if standing within my grasp.

                      I want this so much,
  I hold no angst, no horror or panic;
        my mind is ajar, and wildly staring,
            toward a ghost,
              a contour-   a shadow familiar;
       I so want my Mom.
 
   My vision murmurs, calm and still my darling,
       and I am falling, falling into a hush;
            to grasp this soft murmur,
        again, again and again . . . .
