Remembering
Joan Borysenko (b.1945)
In the secret recesses of the heart
beyond the teachings of this world
calls a still small voice
singing a song unchanged
from the foundation of the world.
Speak to me in sunsets and in starlight.
Speak to me in the eyes of a child.
You. Who call from a smile,
My cosmic beloved
Tell who I am and who I always will be.
Help me to remember
that I am both the singer and the song.
