hymn to the sacred body of the universe



let's meet
at the confluence
where you flow in to me
and one breath
swirls between our lungs
for one instant
to dwell in the presence of the galaxies
for one instant
to live in the truth of the heart
the poet says this entire traveling cosmos is
" the secret One slowly growing a body"
16 million tonnes of rain are falling every second
on the planet
an ocean
perpetually falling
and every drop
is your body
every motion, every feather, every thought
is your body
time
is your body
and the infinite
curled inside like
invisible rainbows turning into light
every word of every tongue is love
telling a story to her own ears
you are the dark
that holds the stars
in intimate
distance
that spun the whirling,
whirling,
world
into existence
let's meet
at the confluence
where you flow into me
and one breath
swirls between our lungs
