A Mothers Sorrow

In Memory of little Jacob, who died too early in life.

A Mothers Sorrow

 

She sits forever removed from the shadows of the past.
For her, there is no darkness nor light to define her soul.
The winds of fury have been tamed by a gentle breeze,
leaving behind, the emptiness of silence.

 

Sanity no longer exists in her world.
There is no difference between white and gray.
The line has either faded or was never there at all,
perhaps created in the imaginations of the ignorant

 

She cries alone
though she can no longer feel or taste,
she licks the salt from her lips
and stares without vision.

 

Time stands still
as the echoes of her sons laughter,
drift away with the wind.
leaving her behind, in silence.
