My
Ailing Mother
|
The waves of life
quiver and shiver
Like someone walking on burning embers
The farthest I can see
The closest I want to hold her
Hope and fear - both are endless
But life prays for life
Everything’s written large
On her face
A face strife
With the struggles of time
A face washed
With the tides of fatigue
A face scrubbed clean
With despair
Burrows of age stand testimony.
Innumerable tears
Have flown on those crevices
Countless laughters
Have spread on its landscape
But the pain now … is
Taller than the highest mountain
Deeper than the deepest ocean
I see in her eyes
The dance of death
In all its fury & rage
A deafening noise
A chasm of silence
A cheerless, no—applause dance
Inching her way
To the land of the unknown …
But I know
The umbilical cord that binds
Me with her
Can never be shorn from my being
The dance of death
Can never reach
Where she will remain …
Within me, for me, always …
