We May Be like Leaves upon the Wind

May 8, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Mother’s Day, which is celebrated on May 12.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A Mother’s Day poem from adult children who have moved away to various distant places:

We may be like leaves upon the wind,

Each dancing towards our fated patch of earth,

Leaving in a gust of slanting rain

Or at some sunlit touch, our place of birth.

Vivid memories of life at home,

Early love, most vivid love, of you,

Your arms the world, your touch our organ tone:

One sea of bliss beneath all that we do,

Unloosing tears as dark and wide we roam.
