She fell through dark:hurtling into white
past leaves of how,past branches of sorrow
through raindrops of why,through griefs of clouds

chasing after Her:Her shrinking shadow
through woe of corridors;past loss of gates
running headfirst)the crippled walls

She was Mary(Mother)of care:despair
treading through sorrows of joy
emerging from waves of distraught
–escaping turmoils of seas

She was(is) the Sun:radiating truths of happy
i:drowning in bathes of bright and gone
freezing in brittle winters:no rays to shine

This poem is inspired by my loving grandmother who passed away and e.e. cummings' “my father moved through dooms of love."
