For my Mother
“we die for each other” she said
yes, I answered, it’s so true
over and over and over
my thoughts on this
swirled to a silent music
from some real place inside
a comfort place
where reminders live
that it really is all about love
and forgiveness
and lord knows she and I have had plenty
of ways to practice this
plenty of ways to fail at this
I have been too mixed up
to hear that music much
My regret moves as heart pains
Her regret stirs as growing cancer
There is little to calm the grief
only surrender, only service
But the music is getting louder
And I do think we are both finally succeeding
At life
By dying for each other
- jul bystrova
