Mother's Day

Mother's Day

Great Mother!
Heart of Hearts
Sara Da.

You hide your face from my internal vision—
but those eyes shine through me.

A mother to none of your own,
in a marriage of no physical intimacy.
How strange a life you lived.
A devoted wife, a strong caring mother
with the physical expression denied you.

What a great Heart Mother
to have borne such a puzzling role,
nurturing all as your own.

Great Mother!
Heart of Hearts!
Sa Ra Da.
It's in your eyes the intimacy you share.

Great Mother!
I am your daughter and sister, too.

How strange is the life I live.
I am the sister
the warrior
fighting for the right of all women's hearts to be open.

I am a mother, a wife..............yet.........
My chidren are gone from me.
My husband has his own bed.
We live a secret life, sharing the vision—
the divine as our own.

My gaze is turned to you, Mother
Oh Great Mother
Sa Ra Da.
