Mater Universorum
More than existential bridge
from nullity unto this Earth
more than mortal sustenance
to nurture prospects from this birth
more than giver, teacher, guard
preserving means beyond our yard
more than source or ancestries
beyond the timelines in these trees
more than station, name, or place,
hair, complexion, accent, face
more than planet, sky, or sea:
you gift this universe to me.
