A Language You Once Knew - Dorothy Walters

[Larry Robinson]

A Language You Once Knew

There will be an invitation.
It will not come tied in ribbons
nor a message streaming down
		from the sky.

There will be no Roman candles
		sizzling
	nor brilliant colors
	exploding overhead.

Instead there will be a soft
		whisper
	     in your ear,
something in a language
	  you once knew
and are trying to learn again.
	
	In order to hear it,
	you will need to
put down all your packages,
stop everything you are doing
	and stand very still
		then wait ...
until something stirs inside.
