Michelle Morris Poet Rhyme

You're my mom in Heaven's arms

Inspired by Bosch, Episode 8: Dark Sky, Season 4. Maddie's trip to the desert to feel connected to her mom who was killed. 

You're my mom in Heaven's arms

I drove out to the desert 
Out there to be with you 
Only hills and valleys around me
Big skies and cold and Truth 

Walking in the desert 
Trying to find that special place 
Where we were in this old photograph 
When I was a baby in time and space 

I'm struggling to find the words
I'm struggling to control my emotions 
So much unsaid between us 
Our last words in anger spoken 

I wish I could take them back 
But now it's just too late
I'll never get another chance 
To fix our past mistakes 

And even though Nature heals our wounds
And ever though I know you forgive me 
It doesn't take away that sting
The pain and regret I'm feeling 

So I'll just wander around here
Under the beautiful Milky Way
The dark night sky reflects its majesty 
Brilliant and eternal and graceful

I drove out to the desert 
Even though I knew you wouldn't be there
Because I know you're always around me
And deep down I know you care

You'll love me always and forever 
You'll guide me with the stars 
Send Angels to look after me
Because you're my mom in Heaven's arms
