There Is No Difference in the Way I Love You

There is no difference in the way I love you, Even though you're gone these many years. I think of you this Mother's Day as ever: The home that sits behind half-open doors. Death has no finality, for love Is like a mountain when it comes to time: The change is slow, so slow that in a lifetime It does not dominate the landscape less. And like a mountain you may see my yearning Dappled in the distance, just as music Alternates between despair and joy, Yet always, always turns the heart towards beauty. This day is no less yours than when you were Alive within the confines of your flesh. You are alive in me, and will be always, Though I along with you return to dust. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
