On Driving Home from the Dream Workshop
That play is over,
and we are in the tiring house
changing costumes,
putting on the masks
of our usual lives.
.
Yet sometimes,
when we listen to the voice
riding through our lips,
we hear something different,
a deeper timbre, perhaps,
or a new word.
.
We say something
we could not
have said before.
.
That is the gift
we have received,
and the gift
we can now give.
