Dear mother
why do you shun me so?
you overwhelm me with your tears.
you push me away with innumerable whispers.
you make me tremble
until i am all but lost of my senses.
until i am all but lost of my senses.
Poisoned you make me when you are ill.
The hunters have come, yet have not gone;
they are too strong to merely hide.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is we who have embittered our thirst.
Ingest all with a questioning.
Hear all with selective hesitation.
It is only when my brothers richly run away
That they became damned.
It is only when my sisters don’t give way
that they became mined.
Mother you are my Eden
that is why i strive to perfect you.
Do not forsake your mercy,
My own mother,
For we will only take what you cannot hide.
I love the line, “The hunters have come…”
It feels so real.
Hmm interesting because I felt the second part was stronger and that’s why I felt the need to divide the piece into two parts.
and mother is calling you to settle in, to be calm, to preserve this moment.
Thank you Pawan for your thoughts
I also feel as a mother she keeps giving even if it’s killing her
yet she is letting us know, because eventually what we are doing will kill us too.
So true.
Yow…this one is deep and thought provoking. I’m lost in the words, trying to unravel them.
=) unravel away and take what meaning surfaces =)
