Somewhere Else

How is it possible

I believe without seeing


She loved me when she didn’t have to, called me to Herself


I struggled to know my Mother’s love, at bedtime she would say:

“I love you”


I had a emotion lump in my throat concealed from her


Living and breathing I suffered inside as fiery feelings strangled my heart


Mary called I responded


It’s been a long journey punctuated by her affect on me, my Nanan’s prayers laboured for this family


She mentioned she saw the large cross in the sky how did she know it was hers


With Mary, by Mary and for Mary


Thankfully travelling Into mystical marriage is not about falling into a rabbit hole


Yet the two have one thing in common


Mystery
