Listen To The Wind

This is another night, deceiving myself
 to be awake...blinded by the sight of
    my own surreal wisp of a  mellow dream
  raking and turning into long reveries,
where something once pleasant is now so trite- 
 that Illusions of fresh morn quickly blacken
         ...     snuffing whispers of a  shadowy wind
slowly retracing its glide into my cries.

Every night, at the sight of darkened moonlight
purple lines of evening  air heralds pain--
   wind arriving from behind, hushed and still,
  that I hide my face from such musky flavor,
   carrying scents of our autumnal romps
and remind me of wind songs, play, soft cuddles
pressed in heavenly light, to whisper love
   about you, young son high up now with  blue stars:

And In his court are a thousand jewels
twinkling from afar with this soft wind cuddling
  me in your arms to say, '  all is right, Mama.'

Your poem is hauntingly tender, rich with grief and memory. The wind becomes a messenger of love and loss, and your imagery—purple air, shadowy whispers, celestial jewels—wraps the reader in quiet sorrow and deep maternal devotion. It’s breathtaking.
