For
ever
Mother tree
you
cradled me.
In the billows of steamy transit
whilst time etched a nebulous
reality in ancient air.
And now
you are
holding me
still,
your
warm cool hands,
steadily
grounding me.
Like dirt and stars and love and god,
your grace becomes me.

Darkness, delusion, smeared with a stick of butter and laughter. Words collide, they bring forth death!
Pain goes in, love comes out.
well, come on in. bite. chew. spit.
Beautiful imagery – “billows of steamy transit”.

Trees, nature and motherhood are my favorite themes in poetry that it’s starting to be a challenge to find ways to express them in new ways. I like that line” whilst time etched a nebulous reality into ancient air.”

i sometimes wonder, if i will run out of ways to describe the visions or thoughts that pop into my mind…..so far there seems to be enough words 🙂

Perhaps my view is more literal, but this makes me glad I’m a mother and I hope my sons feel this way about how I love them. Thank you Oh Silver One!

it is yours, however you view it is perfect. The line that goes ‘warm, cool hands’ is a literal reference to the feeling i remember of my mothers hands on my forehead or face whenever I was sick or needed her. xx
