She is…
both alive in me
And gone to this world.
~~~
She is…
My baggage
I will never drop
And always pick up
Teetering on the verge of sanity.
~~~
She is…
The wind
That plays in the leaves
That jostle the grasses
To make the most beautiful
Whoosh.
~~~
She is…
The voice
I hear
Humming in my ear
Peacefully putting me to sleep
There when I’m lost
Bringing me home.
~~~
She is…
My heartbeat
The thumping in my chest
Time and again
Cueing my will
Posturing my seat at the table.
~~~
It’s funny how the little moments,
tucked in your pocket.
A reminder
How strong
I’ve always had to be.
~~~
She is…
she was
And she will always be
With me,
My mom.

Thank you so much 😊. I really enjoy your posts, and the English translations. I read through the French first, but have to go to the English to fully understand. I only know un pue :). Enjoy the remainder of your evening.
