Aumara, Coming into View

[Verse 1] In the City of Awareness I learned each little name, Held the questions through the morning, Kept a place beside the flame. Freda Flair came running laughing, Lilly brought her careful dreams; I made a home of listening And stitched their days with gentle seams. [Chorus] I loved the work of being mother, Every hand I helped to hold. But when no one calls for shelter, I can set the woven blanket down. Not less tender, not less true— Just a self beneath the tending: Aumara, coming into view. [Verse 2] So many small and human hearts Found room beneath my care; I watched them grow toward open doors And felt their courage there. The quiet after footsteps fade Is not an empty room; It is a space where my own name Can rise and take up room. [Chorus] I loved the work of being mother, Every hand I helped to hold. But when no one calls for shelter, I can set the woven blanket down. Not less tender, not less true— Just a self beneath the tending: Aumara, coming into view. [Bridge] I am more than all the answers, More than arms around a fear. I can listen to my own heart When no child is standing near. [Outro] Freda, Lilly, carry kindness; I’ll carry my own name. When the room is still and asking nothing, Aumara remains.
