My passage from the dream to the waking dream
slows towards home
to winter in the wharf of flesh
which breathes with people

There is an enigmatic beauty behind this poem, I see not only the mother of the self but the mother of all creation, from conception we are blank of identity, nurtured by the mother we begin to form the scent of identity. A great tribute to mothers of all realms!
I still miss my mother many years after she passed away one New Years Day. Challenging imagery in your poem, requiring close reading. Well penned.
Awesome poem! The imagery is excellent and the theme is captivating. Nice writing! !
A poem of innocent birth with a lot to learn from loving mother and others that give love? .....nicely penned Yoonoos
Great write, mothers mould their children out of love but in the end the child will adapt and find who he really is but his mother's love is an eternal comfort!
wow great words- what humility is that which will not let me reveal the real? it was not to gather knowledge of yet another second hand I that I came here but to learn 'what I was' and by learning, to learn to grow.so pervasive is the human great 10+++
A mother knows well who her child is though he/she may not know who he/she really is. A mother knows her child thorough and thorough.........! ! A great write!
Your choice of blank verse over other forms of poetry, is simply amazing. While rhymes are beautiful and add musical tone to the poem, I believe blank verse offers us that freedom to express ourselves, and even question our own origin(just as Yoonoos has done) . Your diction is simple, and clearly depicts the child birth's imagery. the acknowledgement of your mother as a link between the world before and our current world is touching. sometimes it seems mysterious how we all came from the wombs, the question of how we were before coming, to me, isn't a simple matter that science can easily resolve. Amazingly, we all forget most often that we came from somewhere. Who is the 'I'? an old philosophical question that has lived till now... Interesting and thought provoking poem. Keep it up!
Wonderful piece! Our mothers are our drivers, they're the link between heaven and earth in bringing in new beings. They're but small god
A Very Deep, Powerful, And Moving Poem! ! ! ! ! Thank You So Very Much For Sharing This! ! ! ! ! Many Many 10S! ! ! ! ! +++++
A very touching poem on mother and a handful of dust.
Very interesting poem. The reference of mother image to express the urge for going back to our roots is superb. Nothing could come closer than the mother's womb for it. Excellent poem. Thanks for sharing.
A simply great poem that depicts life so well but leave us on a question that ask our identity Who I am
A great tribute to the universal motherhood. to fall ......'in the arms hungry hold of the one who held me in and whose being of pain and pleasure I've taken-my mother who calls me'my baby but cannot say'who I am.'. Love these lines
