Each birthday
a day of rebirth
not a return to
one moment in history,
but a homage
to your infinity in every moment
and so we
light the candles
to share Mother’s radiance
lean in closely
to feel her steady warmth
breathe in deeply
inhaling her divinity
exhale fully
extinguishing the boundaries
celebrate in silence
growing closer to God
and as you savor the nourishing
sweetness of the Self
and your rebirth begins again
you’re left free from all
bondage
in the final realization that
Mother
Is
God.
