His Dearest Mothers Earth & Sea

Missing image
Upon this earth a birth,

love child of Stavykm, a poet, and mother of earth.

Taking notice of this special treasure?

Mother Sea  bears witness to a luminious  pearl.

A son for her to bathe & teach.

 

Mothers united cherished this small boy.

Mother Stavykm tenderly protected him

In softest warm blankets, soothing him with bedtime songs,

Sweet milk from her earthly body she did serve.

Tending joyfully his every need.

 

Mother Sea tickled his toes

with ocean soft foam.  

Delighted and laughed,

truly loving him with all her mighty depth.

She too wrapped him tenderly in grains of sand.

Whispering soft cooling breezes, caressing him.

She protected, embraced this child with tides of her gentle grace.

 

Even the Sunrays were jubilant, joyfully watching,

these two mothers sigh with love for such a sweet boy!

 

Mother Stavkym taught him to crawl, stand and walk.

Mother Sea outstretched her arms and taught

Him to glide, swim fearlessly within her waters of love.

 

Both mothers knew with tears in their heart,

This precous son was… as all earthly children are...

on loan from heaven, ours for only a time......

 a fragile truth we mothers rarely confess.

 

Each day the sun does rise and set upon our earth.

Bowing to the tender moon who shines her night light upon this world.

She knew….Mother Moon…his time was soon…

She too wept powerfully for these two mothers,

When it was time for him to leave, let go of this world.

 

A trumpet did sound boldly, echo across Heaven.

The day of his entrance.........

All of heaven appeared, expectantly, to greet this young man.

 

They too saw flowing within his eyes,

Dancing within his spirit,

Sweet Tides of Love, Purest Joy swimming alive and present.

It was then he did see,

The treasures of pearls he wore about him.

A gift from his mother the sea.

The rubies of fire, the sapphires of his earthly

Mother Stavykm her tears and desires for him

To remain hers forever.

Blazing love surrounded filling him with courage,

peace and healing. A final gift from his earthly mother.

 

With much humility and love he kindly spoke,

"Thank you Creator, my Father, for giving me the Best of Mothers."

 May I witness now their powerful love and the lessons they taught.

I ask you to please comfort their hearts…and understand

I am Alive, Whole, their living blessings.

I speak now of the many treasures they gave…….

 

He spoke for eternity the blessings and gifts,

each mother did give in his life….his voice became

Glorious music harmonious and blending.

 

If........ in the morning of sunrise?

You feel the Earth & Sea’s mist…understand this…

a Poet's son is singing his verse.

AND ......You my friend?

Were just blessed....

May your ears hear his most precious of gifts.

A sonnet.....a witness, his learned lessons of the short life he lived.

"Love truly bears all things, patience and kindness, forgiveness,

is our life test, and IS the best gift...we can "ever" give to each other."

 

 

"I pray you Live and Struggle Powerfully"


 

 

 

Author notes

With much love n' tears I wrote this for you Stavykm,as another mother
whose daughter struggles with addiction.
Dear poets,
there are many mothers and fathers who seek an end to
addiction...may we write powerfully and illustrate our
struggles, so that just one soul knows he/she is not
alone..and perhaps your voice could breakthru the
veils of lies that addiction whispers in their ears.
Live and Struggle powerfully!

    Thank you for entering my contest.

    Hm, this is a little different than I expected, and I appericate the Note.

    It's a heartfelt and unique poem, that is more positive than I figured might be expressed in this contest. And so wonderfully worded. The analogies are fantastic.

    Nice

    so very touched by these comments

    Stavykm sent me the link a couple days ago, and I just
    couldn't find the courage or words to write it then.
    I just prayed and prayed, for God to help me face it.

    It is the secret fear..death..we face it as mothers, fathers, loved ones, to lose them as if they slipped right through our fingers never to hold or touch them again.
    So powerful are your comments, and thankyou for graciously touching her heart, which is most important,
    We truly are not all alone, and we don't know
    which one of us could be the next to face this.
    She must come through this...or else ...hope is no
    more. Please encourage her as poets! Hope is all we
    have to cling too, it gets us through the night.

    You have written a powerful write. I did not read the 'author's notes' before reading this poem, and this has now given me further insight into the treasures of your words. I think I am correct when I suggest that you did not write this as an entry for a competition, but with tears of heart's ink you so truly experience and have conveyed to our dear friend. I can not know your pain, neither have I the words to console, but I shall, as for stavykm, also pray for you and your precious child. Frans.

    Amen

    Wow, I'm weeping for this is such a powerful write. Yes as a mother with my son we lived, loved, cried, struggled powerfully! This poem hit every emotion in me I think. I shall pray for your daughter. Yes I speak bodly of drug abuse and the consequences that follow. Never wanted it to end as it did. I was hoping for my son to acheive his dreams and be a living testimony of becoming drug free, that didn't happen though for I am powerless really. God had other plans for my son and I have to learn to accept what is. This is the most painful experience of my life and I grieve from every part of my being it almost feels as though I'm going to die. Anyway the beautiful years my baby boy and young boy and grown man we did spend on the beach. HiS Dearest Mothers Earth & Sea, the first line Upon this earth a birth (yes my son), then the last line Love truly bears all things, patience, kindness, forgiveness, is our life test, and IS the best gift...we can ever give to each other. AMEN This is absolutely a beautiful heartwretching write with love, hope, joy, laughter, and pain. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck. Blessings to you Kelle Marie, stavykm

    Mother earth in her benign mood nurses and nourishes her son Man who in gratitude sings her paeans in hymns and homilies. Such a picture, characteristic of earlier ages, are very rare in a modern world in which Man in his arrogance treats the mother earth as his slave who is forced by man's technology to yield her treasures not out of love for her son. A very good poem, enjoyed very much.

    Truly a hearttouching poem.

     

    I am seventeen years old, and I am the black sheep at my school, because I refuse to cheat, refuse to drink, refuse to do drugs, refuse to have sex, and refuse to do all of the other idiotic things. Before this summer, they looked at me with surprise when I told them I have never drunk alcohol (I was in Germany this summer, where I was of legal drinking age, so I did enjoy a nice wine with dinner each night, and a radler here and there while shopping). Where exactly are our children picking up these influences to do drugs and all of this other stupid crap (pardon my french).

     

    Sorry for the rant, but sometimes it's hard to keep it all in, you know. Nicely done, a beautiful and touching scribe for a touching lady who needs some kind hearts like you. GOod luck in the contest,

     

    Zach

    Such heartfelt sentiments in these lines; great flow and visuals on sees when reading the words. Liked the metaphors used here and the ending this has. So m any in todays world wrestle with their demons and some fall in their struggle to overcome the vice grip of these deadly drugs. Great job of writing about this and making it hit home.

    Superb/challenging/intriguing

    A very fine write, indeed, on a most compelling subject
    which I thought you handled very well; especially the summation in the last stanza. Again, well done.

    Thank-you for sharing this deep and emotional poem! I know stavkym's work, and I knew of her son's problem. I am so sorry to hear of this news...
    My son, is in prison again, he too suffers drug related problems. My heart goes out to Stavkym.
    This is a brilliant piece of work, and I really like how you brought out the best and made it all seem so peaceful. It's heartbreaking, but hopeful...
    Good Luck in this contest!

    This is remarkably dear poet, I am in a family where my brother in law in a Heroin addict and drugs flow freely among our children. I loved the way you used grammer and nature raising the son and I felt the sadness too. I am a mother of a boy - 19 and a girl -18 so I totally get this. Ending so sad. Well written. Ami

    WOW there are no words.

    This is just tremendous. There are no words to express how beautiful this is. You have captured the essence of a young mans life so well in this as well as the mothers love and devotion unequaled. You have such understanding of what needs to be said and the words to express these feelings. If I were to judge this contest I would award you the gold as I don't see how you could be outdone. Your piece and authors notes are a treat to read and tell so much that needs to be said.
