In My Minds Eye (Free verse) by daveslady
I can see in briliant color.
I see the ocean crashing into the rock
on the side of a lush green mountian.
As i sit on the top of a hill,
I listen to that oh, so soothing sound
of water
My mother is with me, just her and I...
I cant help but break the silence,
and ask her what heaven is like.
Her answer was a gift,
wrapped so perfectly...
I dont dare open it.
She urges me with her eyes and smile,
the gift she gives is her gift of love.
I am overwhelmed with the brilliant light
radiating from the box
I rise to my feet, as does she.
We embrace with tear filled eyes.
Not a word is said while we stand,
locked in each others arms
I dont want it to end
I havent felt her warm embrace for a year.
After a moment or two she slowly lets go.
I look at her with wondering eyes...
Why does she have to go?
Why must this moment end?
A single tear runs down her check as she turns away.
I watch the figure as it goes down the hill.
Now i stand alone just me and the box.
The box that is filled with the love
of a mother for her daughter
I keep that box close to my heart.
Some day i will see her again,
only this time it will never end.
