Mother of Memory – Mnemosyne Alzheimers, your antithesis, some God should love us. Even your daughters seemed to have forgotten that you gave them your gifts, through Zeus. Oh, he loved you, night after nine. Without you, who could have been recalled? At all? Without you. Mother, Memory, Mnemosyne. Mists love you, recollection is your forte. Against standard, you stood, Philosophizer, lover, mother, responsible for dialog. You, alone, gave reason to chronology. Life, Being, Self, Time, Space, Occurrence, Repetition… Beliefs. You manifested yourself into Thought. Unbeknown, you allowed Thought into Philosophy and did not stop there. Mother of Memory, you allowed Spiritualism. Possibly even the “can do” canto. Your daughters are proud, and wear your veils well. Without you no man could have been born to spout Intelligence. © Karilea Rilling Jungel January 3, 2007 Reposted for a very good friend...and her mother. |

I particularly like the last part. Without you no man can be born to spout intelligence. Lovely! A poet must leave traces of his passing not proof. |

Sissie...you give much meaning to mothers, and mothers of mothers and all the children of the world that they bore. Lovely! |
