COSMIC MOTHER

Sent by God to thaw me
Our genes to entwine
Endure all instead of me
Delight me with the light you shine
Warm my fervent heart like iron
Mother

When your soul gave life to me
You flew away like a firefly
Nursed with milk by destiny
Bathed its babe in tears she cried
Embraced was I by loneliness
Murdered by love’s sweet caress
Mother

Don’t shed your tears
Don’t kneel
My soul will help you heal
Once all is encompassed by silence and agony
Too late we were to meet, you and me
And so crucified Mother I had to be

Saša Milivojev
