Aiti (Mother)
September 2, 2013
Know this, dear:
To open your wings
Let the light in,
Don’t let the world know,
That you’re wearing thin.
Whisper to the wind.
It travels west,
Into my ears,
Filling my chest.
Hide with shadows,
They’ll befriend your soul,
Heal your mistakes,
Burn them like coal.
Enclose your hands,
Shut your eyes,
Let me murmur
Lullabies.
Remember now, dear:
The hook I throw
Into the sea,
Is not to stop you,
But to anchor me.
