Always, To Me

By cre

For all I have hated you

In the past, and for all I may,

In future days.

I see you now

Waving gently with the passing wind

Swirling as the breeze kisses you again

A lotus

A delicately petaled beauty

Filmy veins that bore our touch

Though we barely whispered

Much.

Your skin to our gentle kiss

Was there

And paper-thin beauty

So ever fair

A remnant of our love's caress

And though through hate we did digress;


For all I have failed to love

In the day we saw and the days

Which may someday be.

I, bowing, acknowledge the Eve

The One you were . . .

Always my Mother,

Always . . . to me.
