Mother

As the moments blended
Into stillness
Of a winter night
I was lost
In a magic of words
In ever - widening circles
Till a soft voice
A breath of silence
Whispered
Stars are rolling down
The ladder of night
Dear son! sleep now
Again in winter nights
Swirling snow flakes
Weave patters
Of old remembrance
A soft voice is wafted
A tap of light
From beyond Time
Mother! Did you call?
