SUN SET, AT DAWN

SUN SETLING AT DAWN

In a world of beauty and wonder,

at a moment of joy and hope,

a blessed world, with new life to cope.

birthing of a child, a spell we're all under.

But when it takes away the life of a mother,

The beauty fades away, leaving only a shudder.

fate! has a twisted way of taking away,

Leaving us with tears and heartache to sway.

The sight of my mother, once full of life,

Now lies still, like a cold and empty hive.

my queen bee, never again to see.

The hospital room, now empty and bare,

Reminds me of a love that was once there.

The sound of machines, once hopeful and loud,

Now echoes with a silence that pierces like a shroud.

The sound of the monitor, a constant beep,

Echoes the pain of a mother who will never wake from sleep.

I smell the air in the room, sterile and cold,

A reminder of the moment your chapter was closed.

The smell of disinfectant, once so clean,

Now chokes my throat and stings my eyes, making me keen.

A constant taste of salt, from tears that never end,

saltier than the sea, Reminds me of a love

that I can no longer extend.

of how much I've lost, how much I'll grieve.

A touch of her tiny hand, so soft and small,

A constant reminder of the life that was taken,

A dreams from which I'll never awaken.

A touch of my mother's hand, now cold and still,

Reminds me of a love that time will never kill.

Oh, Mother, how I wish you could have stayed,

To see the child you gave your life for, as she played.

Oh, mother, I wish she could wake up each morning,

to the sound of your voice, smell your perfume,

and rub her face on your chest as she curdles in your arms.

Oh, I wish she could feel the love of a mother.

I hear you say carry on, but you drained the gas off my tank,

when I close my eyes, I see you still cheering for me,

thou life blew it's final whistle on you, I hope it's a prank.

my skin fells no stimuli, it's hard to dance on,

your voice, my favorite track.

the taste of oranges and the smell of pineapple,

makes my gum crack and my tummy rack.

your absence makes everything meaningless.

sleep on mum, I hope your new destination was worth it.
