A Mother's Hug Goodnight
Frigid calm front
hides in northern winds,
vast sky of my bedroom dims.
Stream in winter
iced over; mother's embrace
letting go at bedtime.
Still rainfall,
sky's dark pillow,
eyelids become anchors; smothering.
The cold front
blanketing this damp landscape,
peacefully covers the coming storm.
hides in northern winds,
vast sky of my bedroom dims.
Stream in winter
iced over; mother's embrace
letting go at bedtime.
Still rainfall,
sky's dark pillow,
eyelids become anchors; smothering.
The cold front
blanketing this damp landscape,
peacefully covers the coming storm.

Thank you for submitting your poem to my competition, Daniel. Your poem does justice to the experience of a mother's hug: home, protection, love and acceptance. Nicely written.
