[hometext] => "The aging of my mother."
[bodytext] => Ancient maps from traveled roads worn thin
from time show on her face, as the twilight shapes my silhouette on her bedroom walls where I become my mother's mother. Rumpled sheets caress her, our hands intertwine, warmth passing from one generation to another, while she whispers of love as if meeting me for the very first time. Her eyes still shine as I gaze into those deep blue seas, revealing private roads we traversed as one, while warm breezes court secrets of planted gardens that reveal her seamless self. Forgetting her is not an option as her silver cane now forever abandoned at the door, still make promises her steps, as my unrelenting cadence finds quiet next to hers. I speak in muted tones, saying we will be together forever, while reflections of my life, like dry roots almost free of dirt that clings, plant faint memories to meet again someday as I look for her evanescent smile one more time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
