Steemit-Uyo Poetry Contest —A Mother #MyEntry
Image source:pixabay
I have watched rivers
But none so pure as her love
Reviving these descendants
Whose souls fainted in the
wilderness
She is a cloud
A great crowd of blessings
In wait
For generations yet unborn
I have felt fire
But none so warm as her touch
Gentle and mushy
Sending sweet caresses through
my spine
She is earth
Bountiful and ravishing
Paradise for mortal men
I have heard the nightingale
But none so melodious as her
voice
Resounding with echoes
As in the cathedral of a hive
She is a goddess
Majestic and divine
Stretching her wings
So we become pillars at day
I have lifted a log
But none so heavy as her cross
Burdened, bruised, abused—she
smiles
So the darkest heart comes alive
She is a rock
Eroding in glory of my wails
Weak and distressed
Yet evoking from her insides
Strength unbeatable
This piece is dedicated to all the mothers out there in the world –keep being strong, keep being a pillar.

I love this line. Tintilating and brainstorming... Quite deep at the same time. Your style and mood reminded me of The Negro Speaks of River
