Mother Spiritual

The first was a mother. Life came to us not from a word, nor did it come from the sea, washed ashore like drifting wood—no, it came on the breeze as a song that blessed the young Earth's Eden born high within the leaves as a bird of paradise, the spiritual singing become manifest, and from the first to the last all mothers have known the song of life, for mothers were all prayers of love to the gentle listening ears of existence born. And in the leaves of her tree did today's bird of paradise, Denise, manifest her gift to the world: her three daughters, her three spiritual songs, the themes of her every prayer. And pray, she has, and pray she does for her very loves who have flown to spread their wings, to share their own songs with the waiting world, for love, the first and last song gifted to them by the living lips of the world as they knew it, every day, from Denise—love every day, every lyric, every word, every knowing look love so they would never forget, so that someday they could carry on that song like the blessed winds......and carry it on they have. Listen to the shining day—can't you hear it: can't you hear the beautiful song of the mother and her daughters and their daughters, gifting colors and blessings to us all?
