Mother~

Mother
Hear my voice
My distant call
Upon your name
My blessing
And my rising star
Through the good times
The bad and rain

In a breath
You were many things
Savior
Martyr
Blessed Goddess
Secret name

You loved us
Through your trials
That were devouring
You from within

Mother Eagle
Mother Bear
Mother Lion
Mother’s care
As protected children
We were safe
In your presence
Of Nature’s grace

Your divine spirit
Is living on
Inside of us
Shining beyond
The sun pours out
Its Golden rays
Of light Upon you
In silent praise

I feel your warmth
From memory
Caressing your face
With reverie
Glorious
Glorious
A better place
Full of wonders
The light of faith

It is here…
A new day dawns
Upon us

Gabriel!
Michael!
Uriel!
Raphael!
Ariel!
Carry on
And guide the way
For a Mother’s love
To Heaven’s gate

She danced with Purpose!
Poise and Grace
Others looked upon
Her ethereal face
Watching with tears
You slipped away
Before their eyes
So silently

Mother
Martyr
Savior
The trinity in one
You are
A true archetype
Of
Hope
Strength
You gave birth
To THE Son

Beyond the clouds
Beyond the sky
Looking down
Into the void
You
Reached the Heavens
Exalted now
Earned your place
In the kingdom
Of gold

Tears of joy
Replaced the fears
Life’s trials disappear
Into the light of the sun
Shining voices
Songs of love
Your calling answered
It guided you
Illuminating your way
Footsteps left
in the sand
Defined a path
Never strayed

Walk with me
In spirit mother
Forever hand in hand
I never thought
That you could leave
The boy
Inside
The man

You have freed me
Lead me out of bondage
From the anxiety
Of the unknown
I had been imprisoned
Now I hold the key
As I reap what I have sewn

The MagicK shared
Your child has grown
As you return to the dust
Cycles, recycled
Born, reborn
From child
To adult

There was innocence
Within my heart
Midnight whispers
Of “I love you so”…
Until this day
Beneath grey skies
The voice I hear now
Is my own….
