Mothers

Mothers

Mothers are sacred vessels
Safe harbors when we are yet
Unformed
Unborn
Reckless for
Being.

And after we're delivered to light
We see a world of love
Love in mothers eyes
Lights up
our world.

A sun of safety
To gaze eternity upon.

Yes! If at all
we see eternity
It's in continuity
In threads of love
that bind mother
To child. ..
These eyes
have it.

Her astounding capacity to love
Reflected in softened orbs
Magnifies my soul
Escalates elevates me.

Magnificat anima mea
Gloria in excelsis mater.

Mother is God
The repository
Of Heaven's
Hallowed kingdom.

The dying man remembers
His distant infancy
With the last speckled sunshine
In his fading eyes.
And smiles for
those days of sweet sunshine
Under his Pieta's care
And
Animates his children's
children
With that
Living bible
Of his documented love
The testament of
Time's trust in
Shady days of
Benevolence.

Yes indeed a mother
Is prayer book
Cover to cover
Surpassing all religion
Teaching more than
All the books of learning
dying a trillion fearful deaths
For her babes
In one lifetime
Immortalized

She truly never dies

Even when...
Her children are
Themselves dead.
The river of love once
melted must flow
Till end of Time.

Hold close to heart and mind
Infuse her
In your soul and being
Transfer her beloved light
Through her eyes your children
Are you,
Seeing.
