Mother, I see you; as I see me!: A poem

I can see you in your dignified march like a stately carouche

across the streets of a sublime, undemanding and self-effacing

 soul, with your hair in an augmentative artificial chignon for an

auspicious occasion or feast; and I think of the Mother Goddess

you were! I know we are only what destiny makes us to

be; and this time round, a diminutive unknown being that you

took on,  in the nineteen sixties and seventies, little realising  you were

the greatness of Mother Mary and Isis in previous lifetimes.

But you were a Queen, nonetheless! In your sincere ignorance,  you

had a canny-downy grace, an astute knowing, despite not being

schooled too much or educated. You know, come to think of

it: What is grandeur? Argus or the peacock’s tail? You know

simplicity is as beckoning as international fame. I can say

without needing the clairvoyance of augury, that even in your

greatness you were humble and honest, as you were in your ordirariness.

You know Mother, how was Mother Mary’s truth lost to the world

by the paint of an ignonimous glory brought upon her, that she

was taken away from her dearest son, James the Just; and they

were pulverised by an abductive Church – one, to be saddened in

posterity by a bequeathal of false glory and the other, to be

unceremoniously dragged out of destiny! You know, Mother, we have been

straitjacketed by a mean time! We know the ones who deserve the

cangue, the pilliory. We know the ones who actually need to sit

on the penitent mourners’ bench, at least! But never mind, Mother, we

are discreetly sacred, divine and regal in our route march of difficulty,

whether we don the vestments of glory and greatness or the rags of

impoverishment and ordinariness in destiny. Whatever it be, we will

take pride in the honour and dignity of our sincere truths, and never be

ostentatious like them, basking in the ingloriousness that their villainy garnered for them!

You know, Mother, even if we are small in time, every little animal has its own armature!
