Analysis of 'Mother Any Distance'
Here is a substantial excerpt from the poem 'Mother Any Distance' by Simon Armitage:
'You come to help me, to half-hang over the edge of the sky, a tether that drapes from the world, anchoring me to the earth. My mother’s voice echoes like wind through trees, whispering boundaries of the land and sky. I stretch out my arms, feeling the weight of the clouds and the whisper of leaves. The horizon stretches endlessly, a line between sky and earth, marking the limits of my reach but also the vastness of nature. I want to explore beyond, to reach out into the wild, into forests and oceans, yet I am tethered by love and memory, the roots that hold me in place.'
