Happy Mother's Day from far away! As love has wings, it flies across the sea, Passing seraphim alight with glee, Placed in nooks on clouds along its way. Years cannot such innocence betray, Morning's holy light perpetually On fire within the heart, a pillar we Then follow through the desert night and day. Here, then, is my love, and as it lands, Exchange it for a pigeon of your own, Returning through the heavens what I once, 'Ere you were born, delivered to your door. So are we eternal, though the sands Demand of us that piece that is on loan, As love renews, renews the ancient dance, Yet dancing though the wide world be no more. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
