Mother Waits Alone

She sweeps the shrine steps,

A sweetly somber

Smile on her face,

Always waiting there

To catch slim chance of

A long-missed embrace.

Softly, the wind creeps

Past her ears, as the

Sun begins to set.

If Kagome had

Come home, here is the

View she would have met:

Extra food prepared

Just in case she had

Happened to arrive,

Smiles waiting there

For her if she had

Only looked inside.

But Kagome does

Not come home, not this

Day nor the next one;

Mother waits alone

Against the backdrop

Of a setting sun.
