Lasting Forever
Setting in a room
by myself.
The walls washed in white.
A single pearly
tear
rolls down my skin.
My eyes closed tight as
I envision my one
perfect moment
The warm fragrance
of the field
blows in the breeze
yellow, pink, blue, and purple
petals
towards the Northern expanse.
As the sun
began
to dip
beneath
the
horizon,
and the wind seemed
to acquire the colors of the field,
my glance moves up
as I realized
I am no longer
alone.
The eyes of those
which my own sprang forth from
set across the field
gleaming back toward me.
Her pale skin
flawless
illuminated amazingly
in the dim sunlight.
S-L-O-W-L-Y,
my hand
reaches out to her.
And She reaching towards me as well
takes hold of my fragile hand.
And in that moment
that we set there,
the-bond-that-holds
motheranddaughter
was created
"IT WILL LAST FOREVER,
OUR BOND
WILL LAST FOREVER."
The colors of the wind
play around our bonded figures.
the smell of the field fades...
the sound of the wind fades...
the sight of my mother fades...
the feel of her embrace fades...
I open my eyes
and realize once again
that she lives within me.
And I hear her voice once again...
"IT WILL LAST FOREVER,
OUR BOND
WILL LAST FOREVER." |
