I'd share with you
how much our
early morning
walks have become
sacred coffee meditations
a chance for you
to confide in me
your dreams
pose bizarre scenarios
tell me about kids who
are YouTube famous
& vow you'll
make "mom a millionaire
one day"
I smile
absorbing obscure
WWII trivia
listening to
your laugh's positivity
wanting to just
hold you close
catching my breath
instead
we silence
our footsteps
staring up at the mystic sky
an ivory moon
tarnished yellow
by the yawn of day
& I want to keep this moment
open, blooming inside my chest
feeling your steps racing
beyond my own, knowing this
wedding cake memory
is but a taste I can only savor
you, the moon, the talk of
future days, such riches
blessing my heart
only quiet tears express
this love
of a mother
to her teenage son
