Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow
Today I laid my sword down at your feet
I laid my armour too beside your hip
I unclasped my cloak and my gown to lay by your sleeping body
Only to listen to what's in your heart and your mind at dark
Yesterday I fought with the might of a thousand soldiers
As blood drenched my clothes and covered my mane no one would recognize my sex
I flew with the swiftness of an eagle for a titmouse
I crawled with the silence of the sneakiest of salamanders
Tomorrow I will wake to a new day and a hot sun
My eyes will be blind to all that they behold in your light
You will own my heart and my body and my soul
And I will deny you nothing in your grace
In our future I see sadness for us both
For one shall fall by the wayside as the other will weep
We will stand by each other through every gale and phoon
Our heads will touch in grief as we share what fates' will
But in the end I am yours and you are mine
As flesh of my flesh that I bore you and heart of my heart that I gave
You will come to see me when your work is done and the time is right
And find me keeping watch over all that you create and missing you so
Today I am a mother as I was yesterday and the days before
Tomorrow I am your mother and counselor and friend as you wish it so
Those yesterdays gone past are lessons for you to believe and to pass on
While I watch patiently long after I am gone
Love is the rope to which ties us all
Blood is the cursor to what gives us call
Life is the death that is waiting at dawn
Don't cry for right now I am here and not gone
...a poem for what is and what was and what will come to pass.~mobe's love to her all and her all to her loves.
