Mother's Eyes

I look into your eyes and dream

of that most exquisite moment

when I can hold you;

when we can whisper to each other 

of our love, and be reunited.

I look into your eyes and see you,

we talk, and I know you

for I know myself; and I, am you.

I share your beautiful eyes, 

and all the sorrow they've seen,

joy having always been incomplete

with the absence of you.

But no longer; now,

I dream of you and your eyes

and think forward 

to all the joy we will see together,

with each other.

See me rise, sea of green,

nothing can stop me from getting to you,

that I may see myself 

with all the love for me 

in your eyes.
