About this piece
This submission is about feeling spiritually connected to my mother, a powerhouse even though she is no longer here physically. It's a tribute to her since she was always supportive of my endeavors' especially my writing projects.
There’s an invisible thread
That keeps me tied to your presence
Stitched with dignity and wisdom
A quiet power manifesting your strength.
I came from you
Every fiber of your majestic being is woven in my veins
Echoing unconditional love
Through the chords of unbearable pain.
I walk with integrity
Knitted by the glowing texture of your fabric
Shinning like the brilliant sun
A well stitched piece flowing with exceptional grace!
I remember your smile, your words of encouragement
Along with your soothing embrace.
Making me whole again
Reminding me of your beautiful face.
You are dust now
But your legacy carries on
Everyone will know your sacred name
I will make sure they never forget!
