She slipped from our bear hug
as heavens clock, rang out her time
…stunned disbelief
the only friend surrounding
muting emotion,
killing any beauty by side.
Charcoal clouds spew their rage
Still, it couldn’t match
the intensity of mine;
Tomorrow a letter penned,
burnt and blown above
A gift to passed mother;
This daughter writes of loss and pain,
even after all these years
But blessed, more often
love is given in memories
that bring this women such joy.

To lose your Mother at such a young age as we have makes for a difficult journey at times but there is always the knowledge that they're keeping an eye out for us.
Maybe they're sitting together somewhere nodding their heads and saying to each other that they knew we'd find each other one day.

It is so hard when someone is taken from you with or without warning, it is brave to put such raw emotion into a piece and that you have. I am sure she would be very proud of you. Best to you

This was such a touching poem.. It brought pain and beauty to the prompt.. You did such a wonderful job.. Memories are something to hold on to..And if they are of love and laughter then it is a treasure that should never be found
I really loved this.. Thank you very much for sharing.. Best of luck..
