Oh Holiest
Divine Mother
Long after
Your image
Seared upon
My flesh
Has been
Returned
To the clay
Wence it came
You will
Remain
Upon my heart
I thank you
For the lessons
Received
In the midst
Of
Self-inflicted
Suffering
How far reaching
And complete
The example
Of
Your compassion's
Embrace
May those
That stake
A monopoly
In your name
Come to
Live
The Unconditional Love
You embody
Many are lost
Their actions
Not those
Of
Self-Love
Nor Forgiveness
Association
In name only
Not evidence
of
A heart's assimilation
A branded flesh
Does not
Embody Love
It is seen
In the care
For the flesh
And that
Rendered
Through limbs
Inspired
By
The echo
Of your Love
Still
Reverberating
For those
That will listen
May the doors
Of my heart
Swing open
Bidding
You welcome
That I
Might abide
In your Love
