Mama Casillas

Sinking  

as the sun sinks 

in between 

light and you, 

 

Falling  

at the demise 

in between  

song and sleep, 

 

Waking  

within that fateful hour  

of prayer 

cleaving to a loose hope, 

 

Heart  

is sinking, 

world is fleeting, 

as eternity echoes 

into the limelight 

of a crux 

 

Don't cry my dear, 

for just around the bend

therein lies  

a beautiful place ahead,

 

Seems 

like the end 

when all else fails 

 
 

But we don't know 

that end to all things 

 

Holding

in between now and then

beyond the mar 

beheld in my arms

 

Destiny's plight 

leaves me in the dusk of leave,

 

Mama

please don't leave me,

for I love you

 

You'll always

have a place in my heart

in between a beautiful dream

and sojourn embrace

 

...As that soft narrow 

surrender 

bides that final goodbye 

into the light
