Celebrated in absentia
Emilie,
9.1.13
Ein Jahr
her, wurde sie geboren,
jeder
Versuch nach Verbindung vergebens,
so viel
Zeit vergangen, und Chancen verloren,
Reise
umsonst, Kontakt verhindert eben.
Ihre
Bilder schmücken trotzdem die Wände,
sowie ihr
Gesicht unsere Herzen schmückt -
in Berlin
warten Oma, Opa, mit offenen Hände,
auf den
Tag, wenn sie selber uns näher rückt.
Levi,
16.1.13
Oh Levi
you know, you've just reached year one,
your
home's there in sunny Santa Barbara;
and soon
you'll have started to walk, then to run -
or so I
imagine, in warm South California.
Would be
lovely to see you, to know you, to hold you,
sing to
you, dance with you, and laugh -
but as
long as you're healthy, whatever you do:
walk in
beauty, authentic – that'd suit me enough.

Levi
(16 Jan 2012)
Like a levee overlooking a great river in winter -
this child will grow to give refuge and succor and comfort
to many who are drawn over vast waters to her shore.
Khadija's daughter, she will teach faith to the doubting,
the desperate, the anguished: Rock of Compassion!
She will know what to provide and in what measure,
and to whom.
The lost will find her,
she will raise them up.
Now she is but a child, infant unknowing,
beloved breath of a beauty -
then she will be mature in vision,
on her breath will many be guided
over the impassable rivers of coming times,
through the severe winters approaching.
Some may call this the vacant wishes
of some distant unknown grandfather -
or God may just confirm him as it is spoken.
God who is neither distant nor unknown,
who draws near whom He will
and makes known what was not.
Levi, even as I breathe,
on every pulse beat I know you are there,
and you are real to me.
