Little Supernova 

© 2018 Mindy Dillard 

 

You were the size of a poppyseed when I found you inside me 

And before that (and when you started)you were just a single cell 

you changed my universe      forever 

 

I saw a film that showed a flash of light at conception 

Were you a dying star that became a human soul? 

All I really know is you weren’t planned at all 

and without a doubt your presence makes me whole 

 

You burst into the room 

my son when you were born 

Were you a supernova 

Disguised in infant form? 

I didn’t sleep that night 

As you arranged the stars 

I cradled my tiny child 

Nursed my expanding heart 

 

I ached for the freedom I was losing 

and yearned for the mother I’d become 

 

And now my heart has grown and it cannot be contained 

All the stars and the planets are finding their place 

It’s very complicated and simple too 

My new constellation lead to you 

 

I ached for the freedom I was losing 

and yearned for the mother I’d become

 

 

Liberty’s Prayer 

© 2018 Mindy Dillard 

 

You can fly with your right and left wings 

a beautiful plane up high in your spacious sky 

If both wings aren’t in working condition 

you’ll scare the whole nation 

when you try to land 

You don’t want that teeter totter on the runway again 

The mother was so afraid… 

for her children 

 

You can cry with your right and left heart 

In turbulent times try to be kind 

The divide has been hard on you all 

Some haven’t felt heard in this lonely wilderness 

Please my child listen with an open mind 

to everyone you find 

and believe them 

 

Oh could you find the answer to your discord and your strife 

somewhere in the amber waves of grain 

love across the boundaries from sea to shining sea 

Lady Liberty is praying on the plain 

 

You can open your right and left hands 

Unclench your fists and raise up your sons and daughters 

If you don’t let go of the hatred 

that’s what they’ll know that’s what they’ll follow 

You want them to climb purple mountain majesties 

and hear resounding beats 

of your freedom 

 

O beautiful for spacious skies 

for amber waves of grain 

for purple mountain majesties 

rising beyond the fruited plain 

America America 

I’m praying for you now 

Please crown the good in everyone 

Come on come on come on now show me now
