A symbol of humor and comforting words,
Of an enormous Lego collection and a well-kept goatee;
Glasses and work boots smelling of earth;
Making truffles on Christmas;
I'll never know, not until
I reach Heaven. I will take these
words from God and keep them in a pocket
next to my heart,
calling them my saving grace:
Do not be afraid.
I find you in the stranger across the room,
In the way they seem to hesitate over which book to pick from the shelf.
Why hesitate?
Is there something between the books I can't see?
