mother

you have given me life
and nurtured me
in time
i will return this

at the core
you are
and i am your creation

you have set
this sail in me
to travel far and wide

you have
engrained this melody
on me
i sing it every day

you have embedded
this heart in my chest
how it beats
with every pulse
that raises the sun
that pulls the moon
down to me

how grateful am i
to be part of
this great mystery
adored
sheltered
loved

from nothing
you have made me
something
you have cradled me
and now
the spirit home
is found
