Notes About The Poem

Communion

(“Pema”, 2011, original oil)

In the morning we take a moment 
To sit together in communion
Two hearts with the same goal
To simply be with each other
And in this stillness we relax
The world goes on 
As it always has
While we remain
At least in the time we have left
Happily, a boy and his dog
A boy and his human.
