Going Through

I anticipate your coming transformation

as if it were my own,

which indeed it will be

in an important way

You’ll go through

and see things in new light —

everything you see, including me.

So when I see you, 

how you see me

will make me witness everything

clearer, brighter, deeper

You’ll bring your candle to the circle

and we all will stand

flickering and exultant

while our great collective prayer

rises in the center

to the stars.
