| At supper |
|---|
At supper I recite my gratitude
for the news that mother is well
and that Father dreamt of her
Inside of me she remembers him
and in my dream He loves her always
and my heart remembers him
the father who would leave his son
to rejoin her and the Father
an only begotten son
who misses her still and always
At supper my prayers rise
to the god of remembrance,
of solitude, whose blessings
wrap me in the fog that hides
the lines between what has passed
and is yet to come
between my dreaming and His
between a prayer and a blessing
I dream of mother, and of father
who has found his way to her
and in my dream I have gratitude
with supper, and the news
that they dream of me
And so I shall come to pass
