UNLATCHED: Releasing the Mother Role

 
 
 

A vision arrives

In a what-the-fuck moment 

Sitting, chatting girlfriends

“What is going on?” we ask. 

Relationships struggling all around us 

Puzzled with recent turmoil

In relationships long-standing 

Suddenly affronting

Hidden truths revealed

No longer deniable

shadows emerging. 

In the vision came

A mother - no wait - a woman

In sacred partnership

Nursing her man at her teet 

Suckling self-worth, 

Confidence and belonging

From her ample breast

A practice long-standing

From eons of supporting men

Into their highest

With the women hiding at home

Sustaining survival. 

Purpose it gave us women 

to lift our boys - er, men

Higher and higher

“You can do this 

And I’ll carry you all the way

To the mountain peaks 

Ghostwriting your confidence

As the world sees how

Great YOU are.

Good for you, honey,” she parrots back

While another petal of her soul 

Withers and falls to 

The barren ground of their 

Imbalanced partnership

Void of feminine power. 

And then the vision

The vision so clear

Of a time arriving

Where women around the world

Lighting up like bulbs

Coming online 

to the truth that

no longer can they carry

And lift and hoist

and drag and haul 

Their men to the heights

THEY themselves 

are designed to trek

With their men 

Hiking alongside them. 

Boys - er, men’s - mouths

Latched tight

In a comfortable position 

Long-standing bond

Silent contract made

For his woman to be his 

Stand-in mother

Check the box here

Sign on the dotted line there

This is how we will be together. 

“You enliven me,

I suck from you,

Til death do us part,

Amen.”

Not. 

Any. 

More. 

You see, this vision

This vision showed a new way

Women lighting up 

Ping, ping, ping,

South America and Europe

Africa and Asia

America, Antarctica and Australia 

Ping, ping, ping, ping

Light goes on. 

“Wait,” they say…

“This is no longer 

the way, my love.”

Unlatched from their breast

they’re men fall

Pushed out of the nest

Learning to fly 

into divine manhood

Once and for all. 

The women spring giant wings

Instantly elevating into the skies

Levity becoming the new way

Freedom without burden

To be who they’re coached to be

Without the priority 

of man above them. 

“Now, my love, 

your invitation

lies before you…

Rise with me, 

meet me up here

The views are heavenly. 

You’ve forgotten you have 

Wings of your own. 

Please, forgive me,

For defaulting to my wings 

All this time. 

This is my mistake and

I release you now

To fly wherever you desire. 

Use your wings to

Build the empire

you say you want 

To be the man you wrestle

Daily to become. 

And in that journey,

Of your free will,

I hope you’ll join me

For our soul ascent into the sky. 

I release you to choose. 

Please Know, my love that I will no longer

Make it easy for you. 

Journeying with me

Requires that YOU 

Do the work 

To become who God

Designed you to be. 

I will not let you forget this

Ever, ever again. 

Join me when you’re ready, my love. 

And if you choose 

To deny your wings

I release you fully

To choose what you choose

Without me there 

to cushion your fall

From grace and 

soul-aligned life here. 

I release you

Because I love you

Enough 

to let you do 

your own work now.

I hope to meet you 

in the sky.
