Pensive, with a subtle gleam in her eye

Shadowed, only, by the moon in the sky

In darkness, she roams, no path in sight

Taking flight, into the obsidian night

On a journey, no boundaries to halt her

Gliding, seeking, you cannot fault her

Searching for dreams, she will discover

Over the lands, as mighty wings hover

Swooping down, talons fierce, do clasp

With quiet dominance, she holds her grasp

Capturing prey, she is driven, a hunger

For now, only wishing, she was much younger

When trips through the dark, she didn’t tire

A spring in her step, her soul, raging fire

At times, she is distant, feels incomplete

Still the spark in her eye, shows she knows not defeat

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

I close my eyes, a flash of light
Kinetic energy splits the night
Over and over, no end in sight
Why does the silence plague me?

No sounds, all thoughts are muted
For this I am no longer suited
Hoping for signs, yet refuted
Looking for someone to save me

Thrown to the shadows, so bleak
Is it the light, I constantly seek?
Body used, my mind, too weak
Letting go, the will you gave me

Turn toward the darkness, unspoken
My spirit is tired and broken
Captured in a tomb, I soak in
The power you have to enslave me

When raindrops fall,
On petals soft,
The flowers pout,
As they do, oft

From the weight
Of fallen tears
Until the sorrow
Disappears

Then nourishes,
All who grieve,
A silent means
To give reprieve

Tis then the sun,
Again, does shine,
To dry the tears,
Of those, who pine

 

Hard to believe #NaPoWriMo is over, although truth be told, it felt like an eternity.  Congrats to all who participated this year.  Here’s to 2021!! ❤
