Alignment

After the tentative approaches

we slip into comfort

sleek as magnets

finding their close alignment

From here on it’s easy

to enter our connection,

easy to feel how our colors

have blended together,

easy to notice other touch points

of our proximity

The city, of course, is spiritual,

the I Am in which we always dwell,

which holds us in perpetual peace,

receptive vessels of constant blessing

We meet each other here

because it is the only place

where we can really touch each other,

the only place

where we can truly be ourselves,

the only place where our embrace

is ordained,

ultimately, the only place we live

We slip into a comfort

that regenerates 

and fortifies us

for the work at hand,

we walk forth

never leaving the holy city, 

so we bless the land.
