Meeting point

.

The starting point to understanding
Is to be receptive to the things I can't do
And the list is long -
Too long.
I can't, I can't - these words
Are my home, my resting place
And my prayer mat.
And this is where I will watch you from
While you tumble and play in green pastures
And smile affectionately at your childlike excitement
As you return to my window from time to time:
The grass and the asters caught in your curly crop of hair
From all your silly tumbling.
