Our last lullaby

From the womb
to the cradle, swaddling,
lay my humble inspiration.

Breathing life, encouraging~
flowing veins, now part of me
Mother’s sweet touch soothing.

A coo, a smile, captured in photos
hanging on walls of love,
stages of life displayed.

Yet here I am, a stranger
dusting cobwebs,
time turning in circles.

Bare walls and boxes,
packing memories, reliving,
grieving for veins to surge again.

My mother my friend
it’s time to sleep,
as I sing our last lullaby.

    ah this starts off so warm and happy and dancing smiles with love then turns into sighs, gentle sighs, hints of sorrow and tears. aye time finds us all. a good poem, full of powerful bonded love.
