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
