Red roses

Bought

Fulfilling

Love,

As

Morning

Glow

Penetrates

This silence,

 

I, slip

Into

Tomorrow's

Reflections,

For you

Gave

Balance

In a patient

Manner,

 

Those

Petals

Roll back

The years,

When

Encountering

Photograph...

I study

Your smile,

 

Touch your face

With closed eyes,

Able to trace

Contours of

Age setting in –

Yet to me you are

Forever young

Like the first

Buds of Spring.

 

Perhaps you

Have lived

Many lives

Since last I

Saw you,

Felt the

White dove's

Wings brush

Your soul,

 

Marshmallow

Peace that

Comforts,

Soothing

Memories

Stay close

Giving me

Courage

Each new day.

'you Gave Balance In a patient Manner' is a challenge to mothers everywhere, and to realise the work of mother doesn't finish when a child reaches adulthood, if the respect has been established. Rhiannon

Hi Jack,

mum always loved roses which was why I used that flower in this poem. Keeping her memory alive is important, she was one special lady, as are all mums that spend their lives caring for their sons and daughters.

I'm always grateful for the feedback.

Many thanks.

What lovely words Di. 

I do try not to forget her, even now after twenty years. I can still hear her calling out my name when I'm quiet and meditating.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and leave a comment.

Marshmallow peace that comforts - how fitting, just what we all need. This is a very peaceful poem to read Jenny in quiet praise of all mothers. The relationships we have with our mothers (and daughters) can be complex but your words focus on the most valuable, natural elements.

Hi Jenny,

Beautiful paean to your mother, Jenny. It reads very easily and with good metre.

Hi Hilary,

that is such a compliment that you found it read easily and with good metre. I'm always trying to improve my poetry, it helps when I read these words. 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reading.
