Once again Kim Hawke’s MMPP has truly kicked me in the pants. The first prompt I considered was: Explore the quantum, in whichever version appeals to you. After mulling that over for 2 weeks I stared to compose only to have another prompt: Investigate mothers sneak into my mental gymnastics. I present a Kyrielle.
A mother’s love creates a bond
Within the womb and far beyond
Love two souls entwine and cement
A strong quantum entanglement
A daughter knows her mother’s voice
With hugs and kisses will rejoice
Know near or far the heart’s intent
A strong quantum entanglement
We know not how or why its so
Through time and space all mothers know
If the babe is ill or content
A strong quantum entanglement
Death comes knocking upon our door
Parts the embrace for evermore
The soul in joy will not lament
A strong quantum entanglement
Lovely.

Clever, Muri! I like how you’ve braided the two prompts. How love and connection remain constant in all circumstances, even death. How moms “just know” things from hundreds of miles away. 🙂

That is in itself another poem! We shout into the void of space and the universe answers. Not an echo of our voice but a larger more complete sound…

Thanks tons Kate! The kyrielle is good for that – putting the emphasis on that last line. Yes having a positive relationship and unconditional love from your mother is priceless and should be a given. But in this world it isn’t always so….

I do believe the presence of a loving support network (even if it a network of one) can be the difference between surviving or falling into suicide.

Ha! Mothers always can tell. If one of the boys is fibbing I can tell – they give themselves away. They would hate me if we played poker as I believe I know all their little “tells”… It is a mom thing!
