Give yourselves the gift of
harmony
In being each for each a loving other.
Underneath the
passion to be free
Lies the deeper longing for a lover.
In loving
well, you make yourselves a wellspring,
A source of life to all who
would draw near,
Needing but a glance to make the heart
sing,
Affluent in all that makes life clear.
And so today you choose
what you have chosen,
No longer waiting for what you've
become,
Destined for a mystic moment, frozen
Just where time by
longing is undone.
All you are is now a part of two,
Severing the
old world from the new,
Opening a vista rich with love.
Nor will the
grace of life pass by
unmoved. |
