Journey Back to You

You were the first love I ever knew, before I knew anything,
from in your womb I where grew,
we were two, but one in this place where I formed.
You were my portal into this world,
out of the Abyss, headed for a love
that was stolen, and me,
chasing that love my entire life.
lost and traumatized, going forward blind,
but not forever.
And in the moment when we first spoke,
so much of the everything overwhelming me;
but we grew back together. Yet, some days,
I still cannot believe you're real and really
(as always) such a large part of my life,
My love for you continues to grow with each day,
and while the journey back to you was terror and blindness,
the journey with you now is full of gratitude and joy,
walking now with that love I was always chasing,
cherishing every moment stolen back.
For it was theft that tore us apart,
and it was theft that cheated and thwarted the thieves.
And I rejoice in that not so much that like Prometheus,
I stole fire from the Gods,
but that my bloodline has been returned to me,
and that by my own hand, by will and love alone.
And now the terror has subsided even if there are echoes some days,
and now I see you with my own eyes,
I hear you not as a rumor of a something lost,
but with my own ears.
And we talk, and laugh, and embrace,
and this joy is complete, as we two are one again.
I love you momma.
