At supper |
---|
At supper I recite my gratitude
for the news that mother is well
and that the Father dreamt of her
Inside of me she remembers him
and in my dream He loved her most
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 are offered
to the god of remembrance
of solitude, whose blessings
wrap me in the fog that hides
the lines between what has passed
and could not be hoped for
between my dreaming and His
between prayer an thankfulness
I dream of mother, and of the Father
who has found his way to her
and in my dream gratitude comes with supper
and the thought that they dream of me
