Softly the Stone

after birth- wishes and the taste of life for real

when mother bid me
live safely
and in her arms I prayed
to all I knew alive
pink and dying already
crying my song
in silent night
but mostly silent
heaven granted mother gold
all that was humanly
possible
blossomed inside
tainted gold and she tasted
and I tasted
what life wanted in me

slipping sands
in my growing hourglass
it was delicious

we will sin
but I could not
outward touch
on her kindness
kill and then scar
by swallowing

no choice but to grow
with a world that hates
swallow softly
the stone
a heart would harden
all along
mother knew it would do so

Nice:) Mother's are truly knowledgeable about more than we think they know..

A mother had wisdom. With age we learn to listen to elders. Great story with a powerful ending. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
