Maternity’s Eternal Binding

Umbilical cord in the womb,
the sacred conduit anointed
by the Grace of God,
the giver of life and supplier of nutrition,
the sustainer of eternal life
and future generations,
the adhesive bond that streams
from the mind of sapient thought
from the creator to every common place;
jungle beasts, beasts of burden,
mothers of the world,
the materialization of supreme thought
that flows though every channel
and into the spirit of motherhood
that stays with them forever
and settles in and becomes a maternal intuition.

Some mothers try to break loose but can’t, even if they rebel against the laws of intuition that are branded into their being. The bonding with the sinewy fibers of supreme thought tie them to their maternal duties to be done. The fiercest beasts of the jungle put their offspring before them. Even though they are abused by them, they still have the law entrenched within them that drives them to love and protect them.
Even when our mothers’ offsprings grow into adulthood, they still have that bonding influence in their being. When they are in the embryonic stage, the unborn fetus is totally reliant on its mother. After they are born, they aren’t as reliant, but yet still attatched spirtitualy and emotionally, but less and less as the years go by, but never completely severed. Even when the son or daughter becomes “estranged,” there is that bind that still is intact in their system. Even though mothers try to stray from that bind, they can’t. Mothers are still mothers until the white wings of death carry them away.
