Mother ...

From where we thought
The haze too deep
Even there the light graces
The corners of our mind

Be here now
The day calls you
The wind and the rain
The flowers of the field
Wild like never before

The garden surrounds you
Like a soft embrace
Forevermore and a moment
Like everything
You ever dreamt of
Deep within your soul

The seed of truth sown
Grown into the greatest tree
Roots of deep
Crown into the light

Mother ...
When there was nothing
Still your voice called us
Still your heart knew us
Even when no face had been seen
We were surrounded by your love

Walk in silence
Walk in noise
Hear your soul sing
Speak your voice

In the desert
On the land
In the ocean
Under sand

What of roadways
Many few
Think of something
Old or new

What to sidestep
From your trail
On the staircase
Is no rail

All in meaning
And no sense
No more safety
On the fence

Try to reach it
Might fall down
On your forehead
Just one frown

'Round the sacred
Mud might be
Falling into
Set you free
