Together

If we breathe together —

the whole earth —

in grand and rushing intakes,

curling into every cranny,

long, sustained releasing,

returning and returning

If we fly together

riding on the currents 

and creating them

swooping, swirling, echoing each other

cushioned by the air, ecstatic, gliding

If we hum together

all the toning of our integral vibrations

finding unforeseen harmonics, deep support

joining in the long reverberation

of all we are, and all we’ve been before

Then we shall later walk enchanted

through the richness of each moment’s breath

knowing that no gesture goes unanswered

each movement met by all the ones we’re with.
