Poetry list

the table

gathering place
for people
meeting the
other
transforming all
else the food
is holy all
labour and toil
transacted with
meaning in
this meeting
the encounter
lifting existence
into life
and drudgery into
joy so every
place of love should
have a table
making family
out of strangers
and communion
out of isolation
bring to it
a generous heart
an open mind
a loving spirit
the openness of
the question
that seeks the
answer no one
knows but
knows us all
place of warmth
safety and
peace we can
feed and be one
never to leave
the same and
so never to
leave

never to be
alone
