"Whispers of the Soul: Poetic Reveries"

Mother, where are you?

In shadows cast by the dimmest light,
A tale unfolds of a mother's plight.
Her presence a phantom, elusive and rare,
Leaving her child longing, burdened with care.

In tender dreams, a bond was formed,
A love so pure, a connection adorned.
But life's cruel currents carried her away,
Leaving the child lost in disarray.

Like autumn leaves swept by a gusty wind,
The child yearned for a mother's warmth, pinned.
In absence, a void grew, aching and deep,
A heart left wounded, unable to sleep.

Through milestones and trials, the child would strive,
With every step taken, hope kept alive.
Yet, a mother's embrace, an outstretched hand,
Remained a distant echo, a distant land.

Oh, the tears that stained the child's face,
Seeking solace in an empty space.
Whispered questions, unanswered cries,
Echoed in the silence, where love denies.

But amidst the anguish, strength did ignite,
A resilient spirit, a flicker of light.
For in adversity's grip, the child grew strong,
Learning to endure, to right the wrong.

With every tear shed and scar endured,
A tapestry of resilience was secured.
The child discovered an inner flame,
Forging a path, no longer the same.

Though a mother's absence cast a bitter sting,
The child found solace in learning to bring,
Love and compassion to others in need,
A beacon of hope, a new way to lead.

For sometimes in life, our mothers are flawed,
With their own battles fought, hearts heavily gnawed.
And though pain lingers from wounds left bare,
Strength can emerge, mending with care.

So, to the child whose mother wasn't there,
Know that your worth is beyond compare.
Embrace your journey, your spirit ignite,
For in your resilience, you'll find your light.
