walk towards the light, the living
glow against darkness stumble,
shed your tangled skein, here by the fire
time lengthening as it slows
to hear what you have to say
for the first time
words next to fire
freight of old trains passing
in the silence, flames
explain
here, let me feel as you are
unburdened, warm
by the fire
THIS POEM APPEARS IN MY BOOK Approach
