A series of haiku poems inspired by the wonderful nurturing, supportive mothers in my life - thank you for *planting the forest* :

 

I am a splinter 

What I need is a forest 

Mother the Mother 

****************

Tender and swollen 

Every inch of my being

Mother the Mother 

****************

Sitting in silence 

Musing, panicking, drowning 

Mother the Mother 

****************

Fury and sadness 

Crashing over and over

Mother the Mother 

****************

Healing the birth wound

Feed by feed and breath by breath

Mother the Mother 

****************

I was a splinter

Now I grow in a forest 

Mother the Mother 

****************
