For Brooke

Validation

 

From the swirling void

Of bright eternity

You see me

You choose me

Descending

 

Deep within my soul

From the well of my intuition

I feel you

Embrace you

Welcoming

 

Eons of instinct

Flow through my being

I stand between you

And the world

Screaming

My warning

To all who might threaten you

 

I pace nervously

Through the days of your maturing

Protecting

Nurturing

Providing

Caring

I take pleasure in observing,

Participating, loving

Your intelligence

Your curiosity

Your beauty

Your being

 

Blinded by protective vigilance

Too late I see

The greatest threat to you

Was me

My turmoil

My changes

My searching

 

We pick up the pieces

Searching for threads

For answers

For purpose

For meaning

 

We struggle to find

The luminous cord of connection

The warp

The weft

Re-weaving

 

 

Throughout the swirling void

Of bright eternity

We have loved each other

And I will always be

Your mother
