Spring blossoms
And shortened sleeves
Summer gardens
Petals and earth
Autumn breezes
And restless leaves
Winter bluster
Comfort in dearth
My mother’s ear
There when I need
My mother’s love
There since my birth

For My Mom
40
November 9, 2008
1 cell searching merging with another
1 heart beating out the sound of its own drum
2 limbs bending stretching marking ground
1 moment over another has begun
I am 5 as I am one
1 discerns a fragrance foul fair or fine
2 orbs bleeding light into the mind
1 void transmits sound into the air
2 caves recognize the message that is there
5 digits feel a world so alive
1 soul searching where to dwell
I am 12
Gone are the 4 Kings courting the Sun
Gone are the 4 Queens kissing the Moon
4 rogue Jacks have left this town
4 Aces high have gone to ground
1 Spade turns the earth around
1 Clover’s luck has come
1 Diamond rough at last is found
1 Heart beats out its drum
1 Joker bears to witness
I am 21
24 hours to get things done
2 hands race around its face
4 seasons merge and melt as one
10 companions lost in space
It all seems such a mystery to me
I am 40
My name is Scott Byorum. I was born November 9, 1968. Today is my birthday. I am 40 years old. Thank you for sharing time with me.
