Everything is in the pot coming to the boil
accepting of the aging and the wrinkling of flesh
except a little dream child struggling to get up
and a mother figure in comforting embrace.

In rocking pose the mother asks,
“Who has left this little child?”
and she looks to the right
a woman awe inspired
at how from strife and turmoil
a child is birthed within
and bonds immediately
with the figure that is “me”.

Two peas in a pod outside that boiling pot
protected from the heat of intolerable days
smile together at the giving and receiving
and too cry together at their invisibility.

There is music in the silent times,
silence in the chit, chat, chat,
and both together dance the dance
of two combined in solitude.

Mother/child within a dream
and I am there betwixt between
looking for the one I know ~
but the weave of bond too tight
and lesser mortals cannot fight
the child-like wonder birthing so
within the heart of older folk.

And there is no reason, so it seems
for life, for dreams, for boiling pots
that cook most everything to death
to release the mother/child in “me”!
