A Postcard For My Ma

O flowing breeze
For a moment, please
Calm your wrath
And stray your path

May I voice my sincere plea?
You see, down by the banyan tree
There's an unsung song that echoes
All through the sun dripped meadows

Catch that song in your dear heart
And hide its melody in a secret part
Then find the bricked house painted white
With the broken windows and a flickering light

Where awaits by the door, my beautiful ma
With trembling hands and her eyes shed raw
Sing that lullaby in her ears, sweet
And then lay a gentle kiss on her feet

O gentle breeze, will you wipe her crystal tears
And tell her that I know it's been years
Since I have slept in the nights of her ebony hair
And heard the tales of brave knights and lady fair

That I know it has been quite a while
Since her lips stretched in that lovely smile
Since I have seen the moonlight melt on her palm
And played in the shade of her soothing calm

Tell her, I long for her loving embrace
For nothing in this world could ever replace
The scent of her love and the warmth of her arms
For which I would brave a thousand storms

O my darling wind, please do not be fooled
For her exquisite face may be expertly schooled
My ma, she wears tragedy quite well
Of her inner turmoil, she will never tell

When her lip starts quivering, that's when you would know
All the hurt and pain, that she has never, in her eyes, let show
And when she holds my picture clutched tight in her hands
Tell her that miles away there's someone who understands

O dearest wind, when she reads this poor heart's scroll
With your loving hold, would you sooth her crying soul
And when you return, bring me back a tear of her eye
And whisper in her ear, this is not my final goodbye
