Mother

The entire world was an edge of darkness
   For the blind girl could see light only in her gaze

The rumbling earth went unheard to the child
      Who listened to the steps she paved.

And that little boy who has lost all his words since childhood
   Contrived to cry out to her essence.

And through the entire world when I rampaged,
Never was found something as warm as her embrace.

For in heaven stay,
I would still wish to be pampered by her cradle.

And if ever angels spoke,
I would always yearn to be a Mother
As lovely a Mother she is to me.
