Another Mother's Day

Ghost of my mother
whispers to me still
when I close my eyes
and dream.

  5. I read your poem to the sound of one of Bach's scores for solo violin (I forget the name now). The combination of both moistened my eyes. My mother is still alive but she is far, far away in Cuba and I would love to be with her today, Mothering Sunday. Thanks for such a beautiful and short poem. It's very intense.
