mama (the closest I‘ve been to an angel)
by @giorgia_vvt
for all I know, she is a woman.
her beauty might leave you speechless
she is special, not the only one of her species,
and yet, she is uniqueness.
the wind whistles through her hair,
as she walks in elegance,
but it’s nothing like arrogance.
she embodies love and protection,
her heart is strong and golden.
and she is a lover of perfection.
she still remembers
the chances she didn’t take.
the wounds, the heart aches
and the days without breaks.
she has fallen many times,
but sure knows how to arise.
her strength has never let her down
and she still carries her crown.
for all I know,
she is a queen without king.
she always knew how to fight
and how to spread out her wings.
she protects her infants
even from a distance.
her love is persistent,
she is brave and resistent.
for all I know,
her heart is in the right place,
it carries compassion and grace.
and she will always make sure,
that I am safe.
for all I know, she must be a mother.
and gracefully I smiled,
when I realised,
that I am her child.
