Poem for my mother today!

 

        The Sound of One Hand Clapping

 
                  the ashes of mother,

                  scattered, tossed, spread

                  in a meadow tended by trees -

 

                  the ash in the air forms images in the evening light

                        madonna

                        mother and father,

                                    holding hands,

                              lifted in  a cloud-like drift to the woods -

 

                    we sit on a bench

                    a peal of thunder

                    the hand clap of one

                    understood
