Happy Mother’s Dance

Sometimes in our righteous madness
of correcting all the wrongs
our men and children look at us
thinking we are strong.

All I know is, we could cavort,
and twirl in lunacy
as when our hearts are sorely pained
in understanding ~ we.

They think that we should know it all,
by this brilliance in our eyes,
as we scrabble for the words
to hide harsh truths in sighs.

For no one should, or ever will
know all the truths we hold ~
though forever we, in words distill
these moral skeins of gold…

so should I spy your dancing feet,
your arms upraised to skies
as tears come shine upon your cheeks
in life’s refrain’s reprise

know I hear the hold of you
know I see the gold in you.

I really enjoyed this Karilea. Mothers know how to dance to any tune and when and how to hold the tongue. Having had six children and knowing each one is so different, it takes a genius to be able to be The MOTHER to fit each ones needs. jo/latearrival

I see the gold in you,
The hold in you of words,
your scenes and deeds,
the things you do,
a sunshine upon your seeds.

Rare it is to meet one
Of nature so pure and true
gifting to others
such a happy dancing tune.

Happy Mother's Day, Sunshine!

I enjoyed it the first time
and this time it is the last two lines
that wrap themselves about me

I hope you know how much I see the gold in you Karilea!

thank you
