Poems
Aug 2012
Goddess of Suffering
She has no mercy for herself
Her duty is to others
Selflessly she keeps the peace
The penitence of Mothers.
Forgive me now the Pedestal
I see it was your Cross
My adoration kept you on
Your pedestal of Loss.
Forgive me too my arrogance
I thought I saw you true
Your saintliness a chosen role
Full You I never knew
Holy Suffering now Unveiled
Goddess Martyr Self-Impaled.
This poem was inspired by my beloved mother, with whom I am still evolving , many years after her death.
