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...
