Mama

They say you sleep in eternal peace

while we agonize here

I say: come back please!

We were never prepared for you to depart

and now we are forced to a new start

the place you fill with your smell

With words of wisdom all along

I believe in no heaven or hell

and I certainly cannot be strong!

Without your light to guide my face

your smile to ease the torment

without your heart full of grace

How can the days be spent?

Mama ,

the nights pass so slow

the days are cruel and long

and I wait for you to show

a sign of life to prove them wrong

they say your soul soars high

or the body dies with the soul

none of them eases the cry

in your lap I want to crawl!

remember how you caressed my face

curled up my hair?

your presence fills the space

with memories I long to  share

Is this the end?

Like particles of dust

travelling in luminescence

thousands of flickering  lights

upon the surface of the sea

my thoughts travel to you

my role model

my muse

my inspiration

my voice of serenity

rest in peace

in my eternity.
