-----

for my mother
who untangles
knots of darkness
to weave
crowns of sunlight
with the thread,
who glows
with a celestial steadiness
just as the moon does
when lost souls
look up to the sky
for answers
and find them
resting not in the stars
but in the motherly moonlight,
who loves
with the heart
of an ocean
yet won't let you drown
in its depths—
her waves
will pull you in
with an alive fierceness

to carry you to shore

love,

mari
