My Ma’s heartbeat.. Happy Mother’s Day!!

As a child, known to every life born which is, colossal, universal, depth boundless, though wordless

familiar to all of us

as soon as we’re again held close, 

to the beating heart we’d listened to as a fetus,

secure and warm, embraced

in the divinest of hands,

when love is sung as life, our world of her comprises.

A mother. Making a bond eternal with her child, so pious.

Even more, oh so much much more yet,

is spoken without words a language, untaught,

from the heart and soul, the purest

of which I hadn’t an idea, until I saw my child, giving birth to me, a mother, in an instant

as eventually now I learnt 

the meaning of the song I little knew then, though the most pleasant,

when I was once carried still unborn.. of motherhood, that more than love I was loved it meant

that was the music all about, 

unconditionally forever is what said to me the song of my mother’s heartbeat
