Seven days, I blinked

They disappeared

Like the mist of morn

In the cool of autumn

Time collapsed, elapsed

Why is it I missed it?

Was there something,

Something I needed to do?

Forgotten, buried deep

In the folds of my thoughts

Blanked out by the night

As I drift, awake

Falling, into the abyss

Perhaps, perchance

To find what it was

That lingered within

Then suddenly left

Never to return…

I wrote this in 2014 and have shared it the past few of years. It has now become my traditional Mother’s Day Poem. For all the beautiful women who bring joy and love to a child’s heart, have a blessed and beautiful day!! This will be a hard day for some of us, not being able to see our mom’s. Thank goodness for the internet!! ❤

A mother’s love is true

For it beautifully blossoms

Like a rose, softly unfolding,

Enveloping,

Opening the heart,

Nurturing the soul

There’s a stillness, a calm, surrounding night

In the air, you can smell, the scent of raindrops

Not yet formed, lingering quietly nearby

Little by little, the skies open, into silent tears

Shedding the pain, of a million crying spirits

Mourning, for the ones, who cannot mourn

Embracing the sorrow, as if it was their own

Gently washing away, the sins of the Earth

Silently cleansing each eternal soul

Then vanishing….as if the clouds were never

Spare the child
For she is
Too young
To know the truth
Too naïve
To understand
Why not
Blame yourself
Instead of
Putting her
In harm’s way
For the sake
Of your own
Insanity
Spare the child
Your drama
Self-centered
Never
Looked good
On you
Instead
Thank God
She grew
Into a woman
Self-confident
Not self-absorbed

Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night
