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.
For Mother's Day
31st March 2019.

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