*I have watched rivers*
*But none so pure as her love*
*Reviving these descendants*
*Whose souls fainted in the 
  wilderness*
-----------------------------------------------

*She is a cloud*
*A great crowd of blessings*
  In wait 
*For generations yet unborn*
-----------------------------------------------


*I have felt fire*
*But none so warm as her touch*
*Gentle and mushy*
*Sending sweet caresses through 
  my spine*
-----------------------------------------------


*She is earth*
*Bountiful and ravishing*
*Paradise for mortal men*
-----------------------------------------------


*I have heard the nightingale*
*But none so melodious as her 
  voice* 
*Resounding with echoes* 
*As in the cathedral of a hive*
-----------------------------------------------


*She is a goddess*
*Majestic and divine*
*Stretching her wings* 
*So we become pillars at day*
-----------------------------------------------


*I have lifted a log*
*But none so heavy as her cross*
*Burdened, bruised, abused—she 
  smiles*
*So the darkest  heart comes alive*
-----------------------------------------------


*She is a rock*
*Eroding in glory of my wails*
*Weak and distressed*
*Yet evoking from her insides*
*Strength unbeatable*






**This piece is dedicated to all the mothers out there in the world –keep being strong, keep being a pillar.**

**My gratitude goes to steemit-uyo  for organizing this contest**

@sikan.... Missed this your poetic style of writing. And thanks for coming through with this one. God bless our mothers.

I have watched rivers
But none so pure as her love
Reviving these descendants
Whose souls fainted in the
wilderness

I love this line. Tintilating and brainstorming... Quite deep at the same time. Your style and mood reminded me of The Negro Speaks of River
