To Ma
An epic, a stranger in a strange land.
Free form always to your own rhythm,
Simply stating
Because I had to.
Life in quatrain-
Each a ballad.
Multi cadence.
Metre that of second.
Couplet of the hands,
Reflecting the heart.
Alliterating constant carousels of compassion.
Rest: oil change.
Determination: graceful.
Heart: infinite.
A parable,
Strength is being gentle and kind.
An extended metaphor.
A tree.
Every leaf.
Keeping from the cold,
Shading from the heat,
Making it easier to breath.
Your assonance
brings happiness within.
Reading over and over.
Understanding more.
Washing through.
Resonating.
Attaching.
Blooming.
One cannot hear a poem
Without it changing
You.
