Poem-A-Thon: Day 14 of 30

day 14/feeling alone

we mothers
are like the New Moon
no one can see us
on nights like these
worrying about tomorrow
as we look down at our children

we mothers
are like the Full Moon
no one can see us
on nights like these
when we are shining our brightest
amidst the fury of a storm

we mothers
are like the Spring Tide
no one can see us
on nights like these
our hopes rolling back and forth
in powerful waves

Day 14 of TIFERET JOURNAL's 2018 April Poem-A-Thon (a poem a day for the entire month of April).
