Gone Mother Gone,

It began in the innocent spring of life

This of which, never did share

Spent summer of youth

… One in blanket gaze

While, she of long reaching, __ mystic stare

Now stirs autumn winds

Whispers of twice-cried tears

Two stories tell, each welling deep

The chambered nautilus of harbored fear

Maybe forever, shared song of winter’s discontent

Yet strings play on

As purveyed souls, soon greet seasons, never meant
