In Honor--By Nila J. Webster--United States

In Honor

Let us be grateful for so many things

Let us be grateful that time in not linear

Like a straight line from the first point to the second point

But instead is spherical like the notes of music

Let us be grateful the journey recommences at a place on the continuum

Before, and not after, the moment of origin

Let us be grateful that though our hearts were violated and our souls plundered:

Let us be grateful for this moment, and for the twelve colors of blue

On a summer morning

At dawn
