| child mother childhood friend becomes a mother |
| the days we dreamed of, sundrenched and blessed with the scent of grass hidden among the dandelions and the sky was immense "flowers for a quarter!" we shouted to all that passed the love i had for you was sisterly, and slightly incestuous locked, it tuned out, into lives that twine across a great expanse of land and of time echoes to me, the loss of innocence when did it happen - the furies and passion? when did you bloom? i missed it somehow - the straining, painful growth of a woman, a woman who now holds a key to life within her velvet feathers, her soft supple flesh i'll caress you from a thousand miles above my mountains, above all that sky and for that soft creature of may welcome to earth the sun and moon and stars smile on you, delicate desert bloom, scented lemon perfume of ancient mothers shall fill your heart i'll cradle you both in my wide open arms we are blessed by the goddess i can feel the soft glow of babies, and women now, and gentle blue snow |
