A poem inspired by my son, as its his first day of final mock exams.. ugh time flies and as I can feel his nervousness... I write

T i me I’m a mistress to your fleeting cycles, constantly constricting, russet-deep pupils that see the maroon rain~ veiled in honey and turmeric flames… Today I lift my hands in s i l e n c e to spin pearls of prayers from strings of patience... for I am my Sun’s~ your maternal daffodil singing songs of solace as you rise~ facing the unknown nestled on the cusp of summer storms, while the sky wears dazzling dreams and answers you seek, tensed amidst the tourmaline twinkling along the trail of thought… Yet I hope you'll trace seraphic streaks, oblivious to the material mists. Life goes beyond ink on paper~ calculating missteps, evaluating errors. We are more than specks of sand and stardust, sailing through streams of lessons learned, awaiting the return of winged comets~ for we are sleep-waltzing through this sphere, and to the angels, we shall r e s u me So let the frost of fears and icy embers of terrors thaw and melt, rippling in waves of wisdom. For you are more than a prisoner to pages of unresolved equations. You are the constant, the sum, the ultimate key to the paradox. Remember~ my love for you weighs heavier than trinkets and treasures… You are~ the rhyme to my sonnet, the reason to my rhythm, the muse that prompts me, and I breathe, and I live to be your twilight when the world forgets that you are an ethereal star, brighter than the rosiest dawns.

IE, you are a wonderful mom. We do worry about our kids (I have two) and will help them with our love and affection when they are young and when they may struggle. I see you know the right balance of support...that's clear in your work. I hope he finds his purpose in work and that you can watch proudly and joyously. The power we have we should exercise with restraint, and I love how you know where your limits stand. It's truly lovely.

Dear Ink, your words really left an imprint on my heart. A mother's love for her children is truly selfless and unparalleled. I loved the last stanza, especially.

I feel U in this poem. Exquisite declaration of Love & the human embodiment of relationship. The lines : maternal daffodil singing songs of solace as you rise = a beautiful expression of holding & letting go//trace seraphic streaks oblivious to material mists = I adore this line = THis surely is what we all need to do. Your writing is a blessing to me & all who read it. ThkU. Best to Son. Sure he is exquisite too.

"Life goes beyond ink on paper~ calculating missteps, evaluating errors. We are more than specks of sand and stardust," -- and less than specks of stardust. More or less~ everything. "my love for you weighs heavier than trinkets and treasures… You are~ the rhyme to my sonnet," That is sooooooo beautiful!

Yes, school can be hard for those who want to get an education and the higher up they go the harder it gets. I feel for him and for you. I always felt if I had studied that I was prepared for the test but sometimes a teacher can throw a person a curve ball. Thanks for sharing the rollercoaster of emotions. Sara K

What sweet assurance of love and guidance from a mother to her son, who is indeed a sun to her, radiating light and warmth into her life. I love the spontaneous expression of such heartfelt sentiments. "So let the frost of fears and icy embers of terrors thaw and melt, rippling in waves of wisdom. For you are more than a prisoner to pages of unresolved equations. You are the constant, the sum, the ultimate key to the paradox." This is the crux of your poem. Such great words of wisdom! Your son, when he is able to fathom the full depth of your lines will be all appreciation for his mother. I must say that he is so fortunate to have such wise guidance from you..... a true blessing. I am sure, he won't disappoint you and is going to come out in flying colors. My Best wishes and prayers!

My gosh, this one indeed made me beyond emotional too!! I could feel your motherly sentiments and the pure warmth that your heart possesses, it's just so true and unconditional. Your son is so blessed to have you as his guiding angel and so are you, to have his serene sunshine in your life! The anxiousness and nervousness of stepping into the unknown, especially for the first time, when this is going to be the major turn in his career ~ I deeply resonate with this as I myself have gone through the same journey, a year ago. I wish your son so much success and happiness and that the God may always be that ray of faith, to align all the stars in his favour and for his own good. There are so many lines that are incredibly creative and profound in this piece!!! And I'm sure my mother too, would love this poem a lot ~ and resonate to the core! "Life goes beyond ink on paper~ calculating missteps, evaluating errors", "You are the constant, the sum, the ultimate key to the paradox"
