Banishing of the Pedestal
By the gorgeous LisaG

I placed her upon a satin trimmed pedestal
her beauty and gentle spirit
required the utmost reverence
to which I honoured with love and pride
though she asked not to be so
nor in fact naught of me

Until this recent difficult time
she looked at me with scared doe eyes
begging to be released
from the lofty unattainable tower
I had knowingly sentenced her to
her tired and veined hand reached out for mine

Her angelic voice
fell silent
no longer was it her time to utter soothing words
to ease my own sense of burden
it had become my time
to gently rock her, calm

I am truly now for her
as she has truly always wanted to be
grounded and level
a return to hand in hand as we once were
before I placed her on a pedestal
when I was little girl and she my joyful mother

    Wow Tracey, this is amazing. The grain is stunning and gives this image such deep melancholy, yet such silent tenderness.
    What an amazing tribute to such beautiful words.
