In honor of Mother's Day and for the #freewrite prompt for today, this seemed like a fitting time to write a poem about the word mother.

What is great about a #freewrite is the fact that a timer is set for five minutes and whatever comes to mind is written and left alone. This is my favorite type of writing since it is easy for me to just write was comes fast without much editing, and it comes from my heart. Enjoy!

Sweet mother dressed
in your blue cloth,
soft ivory skin,
and pink cheeks,
with
arms reaching out
for a
tender hug.
Your children
cry for their Mother
Mary
full of Grace,
pray for
us
Sinners.
Dearest mother
Bodhisattva
Avalokitesvara
hear o-u-r
cries of the
World.
May your mercy
find
and bring us
to Enlightenment.
Grandmother Moon
Iakisotha Karakwa
we send
the red willow,
fire, and
tobacco
in
honor of your
ancient
medicine.
Guide us
to your
wisdom and
bosom of
Light.
Our mothers
we honor
your power,
purpose,
and Might.
May your
children
bring
you
Honor forever
More.


After I wrote this poem there is so much that could keep coming, we have so many mother's gifted to us on Mother Earth and they all deserve a resounding applause. This is dedicated to all of them. Peace.

Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine Woman in training, first time blogger since November 2017, right here on Steemit, paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the Spirit World. If that’s you, please say hello!
See you soon, @eaglespirit
