I miss you, Mum,
And yet,
Would not have you back,
The pain shadowed wraith,
Moving into death.
I miss you Mum,
Your soft and gentle voice,
The way you held me close,
Safe in your embrace,
Daring death to take you, not me.
I miss you, Mum,
Who never missed a concert,
Play or recitation,
As though I was the only one,
Not lost amongst the ten.
I miss your quiet beauty,
The radiance of your face,
Never knowing your allure,
The heads you turned.
I miss the music of your voice,
The rich emotions pouring out,
Wrapping all who heard
Cocooned in loving comfort.
I miss your hand in mine,
As I waited to hear,
If I would live or die,
On that hideous day.
I miss you and I love you,
I carry you inside my heart,
You who taught me how to love,
Beloved mother, forever mine.
Once upon a time I was a fat little caterpillar whose contented munching was disturbed by visions of bright wings flying free in a world beyond the cabbage patch. When my caterpillar form could no longer contain that dream I entered the Chrysalis where thought became form. This is my journey.Walk with me.This is simply who I am.
