A thousand words ….
And….
Yet I think what can I say for Mother.
As long as we have each other
The world may go asunder…
The birds and butterflies may flutter..
Their wings…..If only….
They could lift me up to you O Mother.

Can life be worth living without you…

Of this fate I am not so sure

The tastes and trauma of relationships

It all felt safer in your presence

And…. Now I dread the same…

On the other shore you made a move

Leaving me to handle it by myself

I shudder! I shiver! I shrink! in my cocoon…

Till I learn to make a bold move

To shed my coverings and capes……

And emerge with wings….unveiling the drapes

As I find solutions to life’s unpleasant aspects

And learn to altar them into positive traits

A Thousand words…..

And…….

Yet, I know not, if I may fare well….

Without you, my dear Mother
