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

Tears flow like water

Pouring over rapids

Rough and raging

Briefly slowing until

They hit the rocks again

Determined to wear down

All that lies beneath

Like a cascading waterfall

Tumbling down into despair

They disappear….

Merely a drop

In the sea of sorrow

I looked
But couldn’t see
Lost along the way
From nowhere
That tiny shard,
A mere splinter
Keeping the whole complete
No holes to close
Nor open wounds to mend
Still my soul
Laid bare within
Determination faltered
Ease gave up too easily
Yet, I remained intact,
An entity
Battling the demon
In my head
Refusing
To let him win
And still I wait
Waving my white flag
Pleading
For the referee
To call the fight

As if the Clouds were never – #freeverse #poetry

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

Waiting in the Night – #poetry – #freeverse

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
