Family

When I pass you

in your silence

in the hallways of the day,

I tap my heart and pray

for the opening of our minds,

for the illumination of our spirits,

travelling wide

on this blue orb,

travelling deep

down to our bones--

may our steps be light,

may our songs be lifted

up, up, up

to the healing heights

of the endless skies.

You are mine

and I am yours,

together--

we are family.

A sublime piece of verse, Hélène.
