Take my hand, Mother

Take my hand, Mother

away from the boiling

black pot.Cool me

gently in a gentle spring.

Hold me hard, Mother, I

suspended like a pendulum

over thorny shrubs.

And if i were to fall, Mother

let me fall

on the soft foam of your belly.

Feed me love -

food of heart and soul.

I drink from Your river

quench my thirst of thunder

In the spring

Of your wrinkle!

I desire to busk

in the sun of Your palms

listening to Your voice.

I listen to your song, too

praising work

of loyal children,

honest to goodness.

And your voice

Elicits the light of day.

So i will do my best

to busk in your aura

pass your motherly word

to my world

print words of love

on palms of mankind.

Hi. Don't you mean bask in your aura, not busk? Busking is what street musicians do.
