A Welcome

by Paul Matthews

To this hearth which is a heart, welcome.

Welcome to our hearts.

Welcome to our breath

seeking to be a story.

May those without a place today

find welcome here.

May those without a tongue

be brought to utterance.

May the story which hovers above our heads

find hospitality.

May the song which crosses

between living an dead

be part of what we sing.

Welcome to the fabulous Names of things
