1986
late
in the evening
around
hearth bound-flames
we
sat and read
studying
your words
as
the embers sing
we
spoke of you
who
you are
what
you mean
so
often it seems
you're
too far away
but
on that night
you
sat by the fire
looking
with us
at
its flames
flickering
upward
feeling
its heat
as
it burned
that
night you were
more
than just a distant God
you
were with us
in
our place
as
a friend
