Petal Mat
Maybe I’ve asked before, maybe I have not, but have you….ever….climbed a mountain?
The mountain held
secrets
so I sat on its edge
and watched and the
first one came by,
a boy with small hands
shredding a flower into
a pit of fire
and a man watched
in honest horror while
the flower burned
and another walked up,
crawled up, his
knees bloodied
and hair matted to his
skull
and he tried to save the flower
and the man with the horrified face
cheered him on
and the boy became frenzied, the
flower was huge, the petals
endless in the shadow of the mountain,
and the boy shredded them with fury
and the three of them
took turns, all
doing their part
to save the world
while I watched
and waited
for the end.
****DPM****
I climb the mountain of single motherhood every day Buk … a mountain indeed. I wouldn’t trade it, however, for anything.
Even the times when I have to stand by and watch helplessly because he can’t “save the flower … let alone the world” and my heart breaks right along with him.
I will always watch and wait … until my own time comes to an end. I pray every single day that will be before his.
Peace … and the strength to climb every mountain … to you.
