A peace offering to keep you as my guide ~~~ My mommy is very sad you have to take me she wants to accompany me on this ride ~~~ She gave me flowers as a gesture to take me directly to the pearly gate ~~~ She’s been crying and praying all night hoping there’s someone else you can take ~~~ She knows that spirits get lost they roam searching all alone ~~~ They try to find their way back to familiar places that used to be their earthly home ~~~ She was just hoping you’d get me there on time ~~~ She’d like to know if you can walk me to the front of the line ~~~ She’d also like to know if she can take my place ~~~ She told me to tell you if God really needs me to please get me there safe ~~~ If mommy had it her way she’d send you on your way ~~~ But we all will one day meet you and today was just my day
East of somewhere ~~~ Where time and matter don’t exist ~~~ Heart heavy from old grief but still very new ~~~ Time has limits and birds fly back home ~~~ Who can stop a river from flowing ~~~ Over beautiful rocks ~~~ That stay wet and never dies ~~~ And Myra waves goodbye
I’ve searched for stones Limping from broken bones I laid bare searching for something so rare ~~~ I stood on peaks vista’s and mountains I lowered myself in valleys I bathed in historical mystical fountains ~~~ Searching for you ~~~ I walked dangerous terrain I kept going even while searching with a broken brain ~~~ I roamed from day till dusk This was not about lust Much more about trust I was in the muck and mire Burning with desire ~~~ I laid bare searching for something so rare I honored the sabbath and respected your status I mantra’d the lords prayer I prayed while scared I covered my hair I lowered my eyes conscience of the devils glare I searched and searched but the gods weren’t playing fair I paced the valley of the kings searching for rings and pretty things I made a declaration to a nation through meditation I ignored sexual sensations I refrained from masturbation I nurtured generations I promoted positive vibrations I wrote away self-hatred and internal allegations ~~~ While searching for you ~~~ I laid bare searching for something so rare I was overcome with despair ~~~ I searched for stones Limping from broken bones ~~~ I was longing for belonging
My love is Deeper than an oceans wave To pave a twisters fall Tides cave And lovers wave From beyond this epic crawl Paradox hold shoulders Under an oceans rock And that’s why my love for you will always be Deeper than any world A fantasy can unlock
~~~ Deeper than an Ocean!
~I’ve posted this every year since 2013. I just can’t think of anything more adoring than this poem to post on mothers day 🥰
