Mama
Rumi Quote: "We are born of love; Love is our mother."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peering out the window
under ominous moon
your calm seeps into my altruistic soul
ambrosian sun sets, asleep
in meadows, fledglings find refuge
framed by jade green foliage.
Fetching footsteps felicity
as the snow melts down
you enfold us in your love
a gentle rhythm from your heart
awaken the moon butterflies
when autumn sun comes back
you support us on our tired path
may our trek be long in tandem?
When hurdles come nebulous
you improve awareness
now I grasp the reason
the rainbow itself requires
A storm brewing
to reveal its vibrant colors.
Reaching for your gleaming hair
leaving auric imprint on your scalp
never has a mother been balmily
how I hold you constantly
the eye is drawn by vanity
what's left to tell is scant.
I saw that you never step aside
quickly returning a hurried call
your input is always blithely cast
humbly, you gave it all
an eternally enduring love
dwells within your heart.
I yearn to express in shorter lines
all deserved accolades
over the course of time
your favored spell has worn off
my darling mother was my first lady
your stay was bright and cheerful!
we buried you on a chilly, windy day.
