I wear this scarf, like your love
MOTHERS DAY I wear this scarf, every day around my neck, like your love it drapes around me and keeps me warm, on days of little sun. At night I hang this mantle of your care, a watchman over my dreams, the guard upon my life, silk falling above my head as I softly breathe beneath your love. Every day, I search out this scrap of you, twining comfort and memory against my throat, thinking of you, not so far away, but not here with me, wishing to see your smiling face and hear you laugh about just how stink a life can turn, and without you, all seems dark. Sometimes if not for your phone calls, constant and hoped for, my days would go on forever. Watch me hold this slip of silken love, that you have delivered to me, unbidden as it falls against my breast, I can breathe, knowing you are with me, wrapped in this wispy gift. Psalm 23 v 4: I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
