Mama's Hands

Long and full

proportionate in size

rough, yet defined with

soft edges.

Engraved

with marks of distinction.

Synopsis of an unknown

journey

Senses

in need of warmth, affection

providing comfort with

profound dedication

Bound

entombed in graying tones

of ambiguity,

lulled in subtle similes of

acceptance...
