MOTHER

 
Blind
I see her beauty
deaf
I hear her melody
ignorant
I partake of her knowledge
poor
I share her wealth
in-drawn
her vision reigns my heart

yet the darkness of dust
veils my being
I don't understand
the hidden words

though I sit
under her tree of love
she's still away from me
just one pace
if I could take
I enter
the pavilion of eternity
