HERE AND NOW
Here And Now
I leave behind mere
flesh, bone and skin
I envelope the earth and
draw it all in...
Now my song makes
the sun and stars dazzle
Now my breath makes
the forests sway
I have shed my name
I have dropped my gender
I am - all that there is- today!
As they explore, explode in
cranny and nook
I cradle every pleasure and
pain
I stoke all fires, calm each
storm
I fall, I rise with each loss
and gain
I vibrate, resonate in cell
and pore
I reach out, embrace that
innermost core
As the moment percolates
through and through
You become Me...
I become You...
