Warm Mother

Melancholic~Onion

 

A mother wrapping her arms around her child

The child sinking into the warmth

These feelings that appear so magical to you

In the moment, you feel loved

Untouchable

 

Life spinning you around its looping wheel

You, who once thought it was gentle

Are now getting spun this way and that

So brutally

Do you still think you’re untouchable?

 

Anger seeps in as you think back

To the hug mother gave so easily then

Instead, she tells you

Face it head-on”

Where’s the hug now warm mother??

    I hear the message of coldness that some experience but I take another message from this poem. That of the baby bird pushed out of the nest so it will fly and the baby bear chased off by its mother so that it too may learn to live on its own. The difference being one of timing and nurturing care that it is done for the good of the young. Well written
