upon ears fresh ... the ages of passing along to a daughter's ear grow remorse-conjured words of light and dark as her heart's lobes tweak upon her mother's voice sinking deep into her soul planted as a well-sown seed to flower upon another birth her tears of joy and sorrow water the plant of experience rooted in her blood's soil she keeps warmth close to the nurturing infant words away from a cold chill's lurking frozen fingers at bay from a mold ridden absence of living breath as adolescence arrives at its hurriedly sped pace the daughter's seeded secret sprouts green-fresh understanding but the flowering waits for an elder season's call upon her own birthing bed she sees the tree of shoots ready to spring life forth her wait nearly complete but without fruit to pick she wastes her empty blossoms a daughter's daughter comes to the age of passing her light of life dimmed by a lengthy stay's dashing finally her words fall from her lips like honey upon ears fresh to the listening M.A. Miller 10.05.00 My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.
