In seclusion, deluded
Alone, she fears the elephants coming down the hall
Grasping for the insect she sees coming out my nose
I wonder....

Time, has it cleverly
deceived us?
Was what I thought to be quirky behavior
the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning

Nevertheless this woman I admire
who brought forth life, my life,
still struggles....If only I could climb in
and make the fear subside.

Their are no deer in your room, mother
The restraints....
threatening, menacing, protecting.
You are not tied to the tracks

Hang on dear woman
how can this mind that served you and I so well
forsake us,
My heart and hands outstretched, grab hold, stay.


Please,
me.

I know you wrote this for your Mom, but I really loved your poem, and it really encouraged me today too. I think that's the wonderful thing about poetry; something you write can inspire someone else in different circumstances...it's a wonderful way to encourage the soul!!! Thanks again! :h

I hope all goes well with your Mom too, Something to Say! Prayers and hugs!
