For all that has been when
are hearts beat in the same body
In the separate togetherness
before your hard push for me to
feel my own Light
My first brightness was
of you.
My breath was a gasp
A scream for the cruel
sword that cut me from you
In the cold world of white on white
Such misery in those minutes
calved from your sparkling glacier
to float on out into the sea of life.
When in the warm rock
of my swaddle and your
love caress tender sweet
The Universe realigned
In the vast conundrum
of how this daughter would
find her way in the every after.
And your Sun light took
to the earth in bone and ash
A daughter held to loss and grief
Gather’s shared history
for the heart to remember
in the joys and sorrows
In the wait for the infinite
Of us to meet again
We are of eternity
We are mother daughter
cycling, rebirthing,
patterning for each other
The breath and gasp of being
Soul to soul for ever more
I am with you always
even unto the end of the world.
