Arisen! Poem by Michael Burch

ARISEN!
by Michael R. Burch

for my mother, Christine Ena Burch

Mother, I love you!
Mother, delightful,
articulate, insightful!

Angels in training,
watching, would hover,
learning to love
from the Master: a Mother.

You learned all there was
for this planet to teach,
then extended your wings
to Love's ultimate reach...

And now you have soared
beyond eagles and condors
into distant elevations
only Phoenixes can conquer.

Amen
