Mother’s Day

Mother may I

Tell you a story

About all the times you

shined in all your glory

Of all the moments

Your essence shined through

of all the spaces you've poured your soul into

Of all the people who've been blessed with your wisdom

Of all the towns who have been nourished by your vision

Of all the corners of this earth who have been graced by your presence

Of all of the children who have come alive from your heart given from heaven.

To you, divine mother of not one but all

Of whose arms stretch further than the beyond

Whose eyes have seen so much despair

Yet whose spirit never relents to create anew again.

I bow to thee dear mother of mine,

How lucky am I

To have been bestowed such an impeccable kind

Of woman

One who’s been through the ringer and broken

Open to reveal just how uncanny the unfolding can appear

One that makes you rise when you fall

To show your true colors, the ones who dance with the

All and the everything

The seen and unseen

The manifest and unmanifest, all the things in the in between

One who strings it together, who weaves where there is work to be done

One who sees a need, captures it, and fills it before the day is done.

One who works relentlessly for the wellbeing of all souls

Whose wide cast web uncovers the mysteries of the dark unknown

One who has walked through many gates,

Initiatory and otherwise

Who has galloped through all realms

Yet anchors in this here and now

To be my mother

To be by my side

To allow me the space to spread my wings and fly

Into the day and deep into the night

Anywhere really that brings my heart to life

Thank you for the space,

The vast infinite knowing

Of just how powerful we are

And make me not afraid to show it

To make me unafraid to explore it

So vast and so wide,

Yet to never explode it

To use it with the utmost divine

Discernment and values

Integrity and mission

To implore every underscore

And misguided way

To an aligned and sublime understanding of my own way.

Thank you for allowing me another uncanny day

On the path,

Honoring you and kissing the ground you walk upon

For your roots stretch straight into the mother herself

The one upon whose back we walk upon every moment of every day.

I will always know the sound of your step,

The imprint upon my soul makes me know that I am home

With every foot print you plant upon the earth

Is a gift you are giving to every kingdom in this hearth

Of existence, we call the planet

The breeding place of all we've wished to inhabit.

The motherboard of the whole world you’ve shown me,

Laden with beauty and soul alike not only the violence and bad shit we see

For this tale, this telling of your story

Is how you’ve upheld and single handedly

Created a new tale, one filled with the true meaning and depth of history.

It’s our story its the epic wild tale

Of how mother and daughter

Brought color and life to the world again.

They painted it gold, amber and ocher,

Magenta, pale pink, lilac and pearlescent translucence as they discovered

More hues they ever knew possible

More aspects of the kalidescope ever unraveling its wonder

And as they uncovered more of the beauty within

Only then were they able to shine it in

To the world they inhabit

To the ones they loved unabashed

To the ones who needed love more than they could fathom it

To the winged ones, overlooked yet revered

To the two legged, whose minds superseded their essential nature and binded, blinded, and bound thier beliefs,

Yet you saw through this illusory field

And created a new path

A creative Mecca

A way

You lead them into the knowing

Of their true beauty,

Into the reflection of a higher way to play

Within the frolicking wonderland

This has the potential to be

Of the hidden doors

And secret passageways

And fairy lands that we all can see

You’ll always be a guide

A mentor

An invitation to a wide and winding way

Into a never ending inquiry

Of all the ways to explore the universe in

A multitude of aspects and threads of well bridged loving lay

Lines to earths surface

That connect

The planes to their purpose

The people to their planet

The planet to their mother

The ether to the other

profound understanding of creations essential lover

The love that crosses boundaries

And borders and gatekeepers alike

Who test us to stretch us and show us the growth

That wants to live through us

To experience evolution through our eyes

To be thrust into the change

The only constant of this space

That we are so blessed to inhabit

That you called me in to affect, shift, and surprise it

To turn it on its head

And dance between the lines with

To be alive with.

The gratitude I have for you bringing me to existence

Is beyond any words I could conjure on a page with

But above any reason or rhyme

I just need to tell a tale

Of how simply divine

You are, and have always been

A beacon amidst the darkest of sins

I have seen on this earth

I have known in my own heart

I would be no where without you

Probably floating somewhere in Lala land or elsewhere

But you brought me here

For I have a mission to tend to

With you

By my side

We can conquer any obstacle who comes to collide

With our lights, as they bind

Themselves to the core

Of the reason we have come

To be more

Than we ever could have thought

Hand in hand I will walk

With you till the end of all days

Oh divine mother

I have a burning desire

To be with you until

My soul ascends

And we meet again.
