Lady of Silences
Calm and Distress
Smile for me
In my moment of supplication
Smile for me through this hour of horror.
If only a different gesture
Of a nurturing mother
Teach me repose.
Lead me beside the waters
of quiet serenity
That I might see hope
Reflected in the sunlight
Womb of a Living Reality.
Not the vortex of thought
Spiraling downward
Deeper Despair.
Let there be Joy for me
In this moment's Sadness.
