A vivid vision!

In my slumber last night, I saw Mama.
She was wearing my favorite midi dress,
The one I brought to her from America.
I felt overjoyed with this encounter
Because my last picture was of her in a coma.

She was short; bow legs were her insignia
Which I inherited from her those curved tibias.
I walked forward to hug her, but she retreated
Mama! Mama! I called out, feeling disappointed.
Wasn’t she happy to see me too? I was perplexed.

Are you okay, Mama? Is something wrong?
Mama loved me dearly, I was her tag-a-long.
I missed you, Mama, I said from afar.
I feared if I took another step, she’d become an avatar.
She did not say a word, rather she smiled at me
My heart went pitter-pattered and thumped with glee.

Mama, can I hug you? Can you give me some sugar?
I longed for your caring embrace, released any stressor.
But, she took another step backward and faded in the shadow.
I ran after her, but she vanished leaving a faint odor
The scent of her hair the nostalgia I remembered.

I woke up with happy tears running down my cheeks
I felt a heightened awareness seeing her, I am at my peak
Because Mama visited me last night in my sleep.
I’ll never forget you, Mama, forever my song
This one from me to you, your tag-a-long.

Ok, I said it!
