mother
By N3ll
I can feel her in my soul,
Awakening ancient feelings..
I see her reflection through me in
every tree and every shadow,
A demon and goddess face starring grimacing
back at me.
And the sorrow she brings with her,
after her…
Is that of a world dying,
My mother speaks to me in hushed whispers
sent along the wind,
Telling tales of battles and its wounded.
And I cry for no reason at all, except for that of her pain.

This piece really resonated with me although in a much different way than I think you intended. It would be a little odd given the subject matter to use the word "sensual" to describe this work but that's what came to mind. It felt very earthy.
