POETRY / 30 DAY POETRY CHALLENGE

Our Shifting Family Landscape

Prompt Day 13: The centre of power within the family unit

Image by 13941562 from Pixabay

When the glue that kept our family together lost its grip

the centre of the unit’s balance soon began to shift.

Like topographic changes brought by catastrophic earthquakes,

the loss of our nerve centre left a scar upon our landscape.

The centre of power in my family unit was always my mother. When Mum died, my brother-in-law declared mournfully that she was “the glue that held the family together”, and he was absolutely right.

Now that Mum is no longer with us, it sometimes feels as though our entire family unit is broken. We are disconnected from each other in many ways and, without our once powerful bonding agent, I doubt we will ever again be as close as we once were…..

Throughout the month of June, I‘m taking the Know Thyself, Heal Thyself 30 Day Poetry Challenge, with thanks to Diana C. Thanks also to Tree Langdon for inspiring me to take part.
