Cicadas buzzing in the breeze, in time
And the trees,
Still in the cool evening
Soak in the muted sounds
of the pale ancient sky.

Cicadas buzzing in the breeze, in time
And the trees,
Still in the cool evening
Soak in the muted sounds
of the pale ancient sky.
M,
A short poem that achieve to paint your reverence to your mother. I like how the sounds made by the cicadas gave this poem a soundtrack in my ears as I read and submerge myself to a quiet, still evening of a mother transfigured to this time of day. Mothers’ reassuring presence in our life make us feel safe even in silence.
I wish you well.

Excellent!
