My Deceased Mother : Mother

written by Poet : EC


In the shadows I find you, watching
there you are, guarding my every step
I see you in the flickering flame of my candle
still mine as I'm yours, forever connected
your hand groped for mine as mine still grope for yours
what meets my eyes in the mirror is your face
feature by feature you stamp yourself on me

Standing there, next to me, you never left
no grave, no sad departure
there you are, suddenly young again
full of the future you also hold the past
both keys dangle in your belt, ready for use
