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.
