How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multi-colored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.

Mothers cannot help but be in touch with the most difficult aspects of any fully lived life.
Along with the passion and pleasure, it is the secret knowledge they share.
Why on earth should it fall to them to paint things bright and innocent and safe?
