into night
mother goddess of the water
smiling nightly on your daughter
with tears and joys she cried
with a past she never denied
calling your name into the night
winter nights that turn her cold
the surety of death, growing old
no one’s looking, take a chance
sing a sad song, do a glad dance
watch the past fading out of sight
mother, i’ll never be who i was then,
would it matter if this life had never been?
it’s not what i needed on the inside
always looking in from the outside
in the shadow but seldom in the light

I wish I could soothe the pain.
The Light
You have within,
Is a beacon that guides
A multitude who would leave the
Shadows.
The chill
Of winter nights,
Fades with the cricket’s call,
As Autumn’s death becomes the Spring
Flowers.
Calling
Your Mother’s name,
Through the night’s loneliness,
Brings this answer, “Have faith in Life’s
Circle”.
Blessed Be
