Final Notice

Crystal tears fell from the sky, 
over mountains and leaky valleys,
freeing echoes from another time and space...
through lacerated seams in Mother's wall;
funny how ancient wounds still bleeds.

Just the other day I caught sight of the shine,
finally looking through eyes that see, 
but time is not ours to replay...
too many sins to repay 
for casting stones at mother's house.

Provocative dreams fail me now, 
replaced by a myriad of faces
with jaded eyes and
mindless stares,
holding their eviction papers.

"funny how ancient wounds still bleeds..." and "too many sins to repay for casting stones at mother's house." Those lines makes a girl think! Great job.

Welcome back... This is the first of your poems I have read. You certainly pulled a lot of my chains with this one, as I had a rocky relationship with my mother, who died before we could really talk as mature adults. Loved the "eviction papers", which I presume is a metaphor for death.
