One Day

I will return to mother

Beyond the stars 

Beyond dark nights

Beyond days where

I may have seen her 

In the morning mist

Before one is fully awake

I will tell her

About my journey

About how hard it was

To not come running 

After her so many years ago

When she made her way

Through the veil

Without me

One day

I will return to mother

I will lay my head down

Upon her lap

She will give me the peace

I have sought

Soothing all those years

Without her

That were like lightning

Striking upon the doors

Of my sad heart

One day

When I return to mother

I will finally be able

To sleep

Through the night.
