My Broken Heart
"Loved you then. Love you still.
Always have, and always will."
_ from a song by Nana Mouskouri

I spoke to mother last night in a dream,
it felt so real and my heart was bursting;
I can still hear her laugh like twinkling bells,
mother was in bed as she was so sick;
and I was in an armchair beside her,
we talked, talked until she could talk no more.
And when she passed I heard the angel harps,
as her soul floated up- a lovely dove;
mother had always only had good words,
she left with not a single enemy;
people stood in line at her funeral,
to say goodbye to their friend, my mother.
I take comfort in that she taught me well,
she was my anchor and I was her wings;
together we soared so high in this world,
she gifted me her love of the flowers;
and to live life in tranquil harmony,
but- not a day goes by that I regret . . .
setting her free.
