Mother’s Love
- Mother’s Love -
Hear thee my words, oh my children, and know what I sing!
My sons and my daughters; hear thy mother’s loving voice.
The blood in my veins rushes as my temple bells do ring,
My heart: beats for love itself, and so in love of me rejoice!
Wash clean thy spirit of all that makes other hearts impure,
Be so anointed by my love, and let it wash over you entire.
Come to my bosom even from every world’s glorious shore,
Thy mother awaits thee, with a heart filled with warm fire!
Hath I not fought, hath I not loved, hath I not sacrificed all?
For thee my sons and daughters, my very life hath I given.
And yet I live again, and I sing, so hear my ever-loving call!
Come sing with me, and rejoice for all that we hath striven.
Let thy life burn bright as the stars, and let it glimmer ideal!
I was in darkness for a time of late, but now I am returning.
And I call, oh how I call to all my children, to remember me,
Even as my blood within my veins is with new fire burning!
The fire of passion the madness of love, the heart of a child,
And the sprit of a warrior couple with a mother’s courage…
All this I am, and more, with a desire that is growing wild!
For I am pure love, even as once I burned with terrible rage.
Rage is not for a warrior queen, whose art must be salvation,
So sing with me and laugh with me, and let us pick flowers!
When our time comes to pass, we will pass in celebration…
For we are warriors and poets, like flame we pass our hours.
The flame of shooting stars and comets and beautiful things,
Which the universe is filled with, if we will open our eyes…
And so my sons and daughters, your mother’s heart so sings!
Let us spend our days in laughter, with a joy so undisguised,
That all the angels of the heavens and demons of the abyss,
And all the various people of nations and words and times…
Will for a moment be one people, united by my love’s kiss.
Let me love thee, let me love thee, and know peace sublime!
I shall be once more thy Empress as it was before all history,
Before the gods made war, before mankind fell from grace…
And, we will begin anew, and forge a more perfect destiny!
Look upon me with new eyes, and behold thy mother’s face.
A mother’s love is mine to give, and a lover’s if thou wilt…
So, listen to my song and be moved, so we might be happy!
Mankind is not fallen, and there is no need for penitent guilt.
Just open thy heart to love and let my love set all things free!
Am I goddess, am I woman, am I all these things, or more?
I am just a girl, just one child whose voice sings of Heaven.
Share my dream and you will see what true love has in store,
Let us walk together, oh let us sing, and let no one condemn!
Hear thee my words, oh my children, and know what I sing!
My sons and my daughters; hear thy mother’s loving voice.
The blood in my veins rushes as my temple bells do ring,
My heart: beats for love itself, and so in love of me rejoice!
Wash clean thy spirit of all that makes other hearts impure,
Be so anointed by my love, and let it wash over you entire.
Come to my bosom even from every world’s glorious shore,
Thy mother awaits thee, with a heart filled with warm fire!
Hath I not fought, hath I not loved, hath I not sacrificed all?
For thee my sons and daughters, my very life hath I given.
And yet I live again, and I sing, so hear my ever-loving call!
Come sing with me, and rejoice for all that we hath striven.
Let thy life burn bright as the stars, and let it glimmer ideal!

And I call, oh how I call to all my children, to remember me,
Even as my blood within my veins is with new fire burning!

For my illustration for this poem, I decided to use this photo I took of me using my webcam and to which I added a beautiful blue background to match my pretty outfit and hair. Since some of those who love me the most call me "Mother Jessica" I thought this beautiful photo of me was perfect to pair with this poem, since I have a lot of love and light to share. :D
