THE CHOICE!

Mother!
           Your love
Shielded HIM
                     as you stood between HIM  and the surging abyss

So powerful was your presence
    that Destiny retreated.....
HIS  restless future, delayed...
      Then trembling HE, caught up
in the wilderness of the primal desires
                                       inside.....
waded down into the more ancient blood...
Before HE could fathom
 HE was dissolved in the water
                                           that makes the embryo weightless?

So passion welled up inside HIM
             from departed beings...
Gently HE performed HIS daily tasks
 Yet the madness in HIM
  Explored
 The performing lover whirled into rapture
Astonished by the caution
      of human gesture,
that conspired to keep silent about HIM
Half out of shame
       perhaps
half out of unutterable hope?
    The fugitive wind took shelter
                              between the rocks
                                                           bruised by human impulses
Remnant of the hundred fragrances,
                                                     The CHILD could hardly free HIMSELF?

Mother!
          HE has chosen the surging abyss
                                                             for HIMSELF
Safe.....secure....serene.....!
