For Those Who Walked With Us

A Poem for All Saints' Day

For those
who walked with us,
this is a prayer.

For those
who have gone ahead,
this is a blessing.

For those
who touched and tended us,
who lingered with us
while they lived,
this is a thanksgiving.

For those
who journey still with us
in the shadow of awareness,
in the crevices of memory,
in the landscapes of our dreams,
this is a benediction.
