With each embrace
there is no distance between us
and yet we hold the space of the whole cosmos,
indefinable.
Each one of us,
a thought in the mind of
the ocean of perception.
Our minds
our hearts yearn to name
what we feel,
to be loved, to be known,
each
is the power we need,
folded into one another
we hold the future shared
together
is to gather
like a wave, a tide, the ebb and flow
we make the land
of tomorrow from the
beautiful yearning of
each
drop
