On her Thirty-Eight Anniversary
Paradise Regained
That perfect morn on Springtide beach:
azure sea cuddling cloudless sky,
livening scent of bunga tanjung
wafting from Stella Maris trees
punctuating the salty tang,
myriad bird call,
an otter splashing at shoreline,
glinting fish in mouth.
Memories of you flood in,
Ma, you walked that pristine beach,
half a dozen in tow, leaving imprints in squelchy sand.
Your beautiful eyes dreamy,
at peace in Nature.
On such heavenly mornings,
we can still savour precious moments together.
Our minds quieten, our bodies dissolve and soar to God in joy.
Love eternal in every step, every breath, every sense aflame -CK
