RISING IN MAJESTY

a small tribute to Mothers

 

RISING IN MAJESTY

 

Pretense--that was all she said

She turned to the warming sun

Smiled then and

She was dead

 

There will never be another

No soul survives

God bless this single mother

Creator of our lives

 

Mother Earth, Mother of Jesus

What kind of thing

Deserves to live who

Worships less than

a mother

A profound little write.

I see this write in two distinct pieces. First there is the somewhat factual reality where there seems to be a calm acceptence of a loss and it is filled with respect and gratitude for what has been given throughout a lifetime of caring but it is quickly followed by a diatribe that squares off at the world in a dare, a dare that is full of distaste for those that don't repect what is involved in that process of endless giving, that only a mother can do.

Awesome, what came to mind is: to thank God for being able to feel the hurt and the physical pain from the lost of a Dear One, Soul mate, Mother, Father---

There is not much to say that hasnt already been said ^_^
I really enjoyed reading this and I respect the words deeply.
Brilliant write!

You show great respect for your mother and for all mothers who not only give birth but nurture their offspring including Mother Earth. However, there are many who are more like baby factories rather than real mothers. They give birth but do not love and nurture their young. And there are also many who did not give birth but love and nurture others. No matter how old children are, they know they can to turn to a loving mother when they need a compassionate shoulder or helping hand.

This is different. I like it!

hmmm I am not sure what this is about for sure other then we should respect those who birthed us. And you are giving the highest esteem to Mary...the most famous mother figure of them all. I am curious to find out what others will be saying on this one.
