Reflection

Mother, Your voice learning to soothe Your new child Was the first home-sound We hear before we could see. Your young eyes Gazing on us Was the first mirror Where we glimpsed What to be seen Could mean. Mother, Your nearness tilled the air, An umbilical garden for the seeds Of thought that stirred in our infant hearts. You nurtured and fostered this space To root all our quietly gathering intensity That could grow nowhere else. Mother, Formed from the depths beneath your heart, You know us from the inside out. No deeds or seas or others Could ever erase that.
