i love you, mom!

Posted on May 11th, 2008 by mary : untitled mary

Such a testament to  life!

are these dandelions, in the spring

and it seems so unfair!

they don’t know their clorophyll mothers ;-)

but only dream of wind and sky

and dampened earth enfolding

and the trickling warmth of sunlight

through fundument below

then a sudden urge to shoulder through

the cracks, into the wild blue

gold manes flaming, dreams afire

to celebrate the Mother

festoon her skirts with sunshine

burst

and dance beneath the stars

 
and this I know through many seasons

the wonder of her warm heart beating

her circling arms and circling wagons

and stories ‘round the fire

I know the succor of her love

the nourishment unbounded

and know that I am ever home

wherever she has wandered ...

I love you MOM!

When I was a child, we captured the sunshine by picking  dandelion blossoms to smear on our lips: we called it 'making butter.' Two little girls, hand in hand, long ago across the short-grass prairie. Thank you, darling Mary.

and a belated thank you all for your kind comments. I am not an attentive host, it seems - letting this long lazy river slide on by like there is nothing more important than the slap slap slap of water on my hull, this thrum of insects and occasional splash of frogs bidding for their evening meal….
