Prodigal

Prodigal

The outward story
is of a son leaving home
plunging into the multiplicity
and diversity of living
and finally turning to father 
and home..

Reflecting:
The father rises one morning
forgetting his radiance
seeming to become another
a separate son..
Then the remembering
after much searching
for his Home..
Forgetting..Remembering
Forgetting..Remembering:
this prodigal life
as we are..
