The Prodigal

the prodigal

the father 
veils himself and
issues forth as
a prodigal seeking
peace and love
in a foreign place..

she suffers..not
finding after searching
with exuberance
among colorful attractions
of places and things..

in exhaustion she 
cries for help..and
grace is recognized
with joy as she
remembers:
I and my father
are one...
