SCI-FI/FANTASY Poem: THE MOTHER, by Clare Francisca Pinto

A tiny human wanders around
In hopes of finding a place quiet and sound,
To read anecdotes of the Mother ‘Knowledge’
Of her travels around the world.
A fortress of words she builds around her.
She lays in the comfort and warmth of the Mother,
To console her weeping soul.
The Mother cradles her child to sleep,
Singing her ballads of her undaunting odysseys,
How she travelled the oceans and the seas,
How she flew alongside the butterflies and the bees,
Reassuring the sleeping child
That she’d always be protected,
That she’d grow to be as fiery as the fire red,
Blazing with wisdom and love she’d shower her with
From the lessons learnt from every chapter of her life.
And here is the Mother making an unbreakable promise,
To forever be by her child’s side,
A promise of an eternal embrace of tranquility and bliss.

– Clare Francisca Pinto
