When I sleep I feel you near

by Jon Katz

                            Lord, when I sleep I feel you near.

    “When I wake, and you are already wiping the stars away,
     I rise quickly, hoping to be like your wild child.
     the rose, the honey-maker the honey-vine;
     a bird shouting its joy as it floats
     through the gift you have given us another day.”

                              – Mary Oliver, “Thirst”
