Witnessing You

No, I won’t believe

the lies of pain

the lies of isolation

Your breath comes rushing in

again and again

and each return of it

is a coursing of life, of joy,

of power, of perfection

Each step you take a miracle

of balance and coordination

smooth flowing of the genius

of creation

I won’t believe

in any gaps in my perception

any failure to see

the deep completeness 

that comprises you

Your full connection

to your love

your painless, strong, exultant wholeness

that testifies to ever-present goodness

revealed amazingly

to each of us today.
