To Mama

My longing for you weakens my heart All the birds are silent as we grow apart Will you leave me to my destiny Will you come and find me

I spell your name in fear to remember Scared to feel thorns in my pulse, burning rush Your radiate face is more than a figment Yet, impossible to touch

Mother,why didn't I kiss your hands everyday Do you hear my prayers mother, they are all for you I send them every morning with drops of dew What words can do, when my all is still so few

You are here, when it rains on those hills above When I imagine your laugh and feel your love When the pink clouds come by, stand by and pass You are here when my heart is a pile of shattered glass
