Mother
May 2, 2016
The sound of love bursting into pieces
The waves crashing on her body
Resisting under over under over
13 years
Pulling her away into the darkness
Darkness for us
Light for her
Pulled down breathing softly
There she goes
Disappearing but being found
The cries throughout the world
The sun coming, beautiful
The moon coming, beautiful
Over…
Over…
Over…
Again
Until the stop comes
A new life
New philosophy
New feelings
New inspirations
Grief
A wrecking ball hitting you in the stomach
Taking your breath away
Making you think
