Reminders

Maybe the way I seem to need

to be reminded again and again

is not unlike the looping questions

from the old man of the house:

     Where are we?

     How long have I been here?

     When am I going home?

And maybe my Source is just as patient

with the replies, over and over again:

     You are worthy and beloved

     You have always been here

     You are home

And if I soared yesterday

and sink today, even if yesterday, really,

was not that long ago, and I felt sure

I’d never forget it,

I still seem to need reminding:

     You are worthy and beloved

     You have always been here

     You are home.
