My mother passed away on June the fifth.* I loved her deeply; now she's simply gone. All my life I'd known that I was loved, Living in the circle of her arms. I can't believe her love is not somewhere, So strong it was, so much a part of me. I feel it in the harsh salt of the sea And in the stinging sadness of the wind. I ride the waves along the rock-strewn shore. No one watches me with fear and pride. Now among the stars I am alone. In her heart I had my only home. *Feel free to change the date.
