mother and son.

within the symbiotic space of
your heartbeat and mine
all secrets are held
all surety is found

someday you will ask hard questions
i will stumble on the answers and
i will stammer on the truth 
but
i will always be safe for you

within the sacred waters of
mother and son, we swim
all worries washed away
all wounds healed in
the salty ebb and flow of grace

someday you will wander from my side
i will wipe my eyes and
i will hold my tongue and
my arms will always be open
i will always be a haven for you

within the tainted years of
our human existence
we love and we lose
we change and we choose
we build and we break
we give and we take
but you will always belong to me and
i will always be yours
you will always light my soul and
i will always guard yours

let me see you fly for you are free, and
i will always ensure
that your childhood sings
the songs of hope and love and joy
despite the shadows at the door
when the truth becomes
too much to bear
i will carry it for you
I will carry you through
i will still carry you, my dear
i will always carry you.
​
within the symbiotic space of
mother and son
let me be a safe place for you.
