Warmth of her Thoughts

Picture
Matriarch, poised for the intake of comforting waves
she stands aloof observer of her descendance
fruit of dreams of tight embrace.

As she enters a briefer chapter in the joyful tumult
of decades passed by the bedside of an ailing one
she keeps her gazed locked on the wondrous mother.

Image of her deep entrails they share a singular flame
waves travelling in spite of space
they reach inside her as their birthing place.

Weary with the harsh memories of unforgotten wars
she watches a daughter filled with the same flavors
knows what moves through her being.

Her joyful smile buried beneath the grooves of ages
she places a hand on her tired womb
as if still she felt this Great Dame coming alive.

Little girls’ hearts have grown to carry the new yoke
of a daughter to another ancestry
and so it goes warm thoughts and four smiling souls.
The author is Fabrice Poussin.
