Here it is:<BR/><BR/>'Master, they say that when I seem<BR/>To be in speech with you,<BR/>Since you make no replies, it's all a dream<BR/>- One talker aping two.<BR/><BR/>They are half right, but not as they<BR/>Imagine; rather, I<BR/>Seek in myself the things I meant to say,<BR/>And lo! the wells are dry.<BR/><BR/>Then, seeing me empty, you forsake<BR/>The Listener's role, and through <BR/>My dead lips breathe and into utterance wake<BR/>the thoughts I never knew.<BR/><BR/>And thus you neither need reply<BR/>Nor can; thus, while we seem<BR/>Two talking, thou art One forever, and I<BR/>No dreamer, but thy dream.'<BR/><BR/>It is so wonderful to watch you grow.<BR/><BR/>I love you.<BR/><BR/>DadEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908652871070362693noreply@blogger.com
