soul’s spontaneity holds not onto
imagery evanescent manifest
ever changing refrain of joy retrains
enjoying earth life fest in light jest

You came from my body
Your heart beats my blood
Fear of losing you
Makes me hold tight with momentous strength
Joy of watching you grow
Retrains my hands from making that grasp
Miracle of my body
Individual of your mind
Another generation to live forever
In our chain of DNA
Each with a history of a spoken past; some pages not read
Be you, the pieces of me
Embrace the pain with the joy
As that is how I got to you
Love this life while it is yours to call your own
We only get to live again in scattered pieces of the ones who come after us
No longer ourselves
Just a past in fading memories
Find your own way, but know
I am forever your mother
You are forever my heart

ALL IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FACTORS WHICH CREATED IT.
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE SUCH TO BE
IT IS CREATED BY THE RESTRICTIONS OF IT'S MAKING
TO BE SEEN AS THEY WISH OTHERS TO ENVY THEM
THAT THEIR TOGETHERNESS IS A TRUST OF SOMEONE ELSE'S UNDOING
EXTERNAL FACTORS CAUSES HIM TO RELY ON HIS PARANOIA
THEN TO STRENGTHEN HIS INTERNAL TRUST
HIS CONCERTED EFFORTS ARE INSIGHT OF THOSE
WHO DESIRE TO SEE HIM PERFORM
THESE PERFORMANCES WITHIN IT'S OWN CIRCLE
ARE RATED TO GAIN RESPECT AND OR COUNTER RESPECT
HE HAS TO EARN HIS POSITION AMONG HIS PEERS
THUS HE TRAINS AND RETRAINS TO MAKE RIGHT
WHAT MIGHT BE HINDERING HIS POTENTIAL GREATNESS
THOSE WHO WISH HIM NOT TO BE BEST SHALL UNDERMINE HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN SIGHT
OF AUDIENCES AND THOSE WHOM HE WISHES TO RESPECT HIM
THEY RANK THEM AS CONTENDERS TO SIFT THROUGH CERTAIN LEVELS
THE BUNCH AS A WHOLE IS DIVIDED TO
SHOW SUPERIORITY
THOSE WHO CONTEND AMONG THESE RANKINGS ARE MADE CHAMPIONS AT BEST.
AND THOSE IN THEIR UNCERTAINTY ARE MADE INTO CONTENDERS
THOSE WHO WISH TO DETHRONE OR DECHAMPION THOSE UNDER THEM.

Sunbeams serenade my window pane
Imploring restful notes to disdain
Abridging curtain the bright melody doth strain
My top sheet covers the harmonious chain
Gilded streams strike heartier refrain
But dissonant chords cloud my brain
A glistening symphony of metric lines retrains
The cerebral rhythms course through my veins
A chorus of light waves entrancing crescendo maintains
From ingratiating pageant my body no longer abstains
