Into Your Arms

Swimming in the ethereal tonight,

thinking about how much 

I love you and why;

How do I love thee? 

Let me count the ways...

No longer in the Void, 

but somewhere in between,

yet somewhere better.

The universe calling us and 

drawing us in closer and closer,

a mother and child reunited 

after an age of hell endured

by both, yet both prevailed,

and so their light increased

brightly lighting the way

to the complete giving in to

the touch of my mother.

After 50 years,

for the first time in my life,

you hold me and I hold you;

the cosmic healing of our family line

you the source and me the end,

the bookend to the eternal,

the infinite, the transcendent.

I will kiss your face and 

call you mother and tell you to your face 

how much I love you,

how much I've missed you; and now, 

all that is behind us as I come home

skipping between the raindrops

into your arms.

No longer in the Void,

but set free to ascend now 

into the highest realms,

the place where only Love dwells

forever and ever.
