Another Light

(For our mothers who have passed on)  

                                                       

You have lived your last winter… A final season lost in bitter cold

Left frozen in desolation… past hopes and dreams, longing for ages-ago

Now your winter turns spring…a new star light born on our horizon.

Folded within lazy nights...Rising to a gentler breeze may new dreams come

Of mourning doves, perhaps…cradled in the soft cooing

Your light is kissed by rosemary…Caught between one’s own seasons.

No longer in body…a simpler breathe brings us higher

Content to break these bonds…Promise of new beginnings

To be within the arms of heaven…to become an infant once again.
