Mother

[gladgirl]

Your eyes, face, smile
These I can conjure at random
But your voice is ellusive
In my dreams you are speechless
You smile and comfort me
And then disappear
You words they come to me
They are unspoken
Not from your lips
but from your mind to mine
Quietly torturing me
As I yearn to hear and hold you again
But this is forbidden in my dreams
I reach out and you are gone

[Rhabbi]

Ask and you shall recieve. Wonderful poetry.
