We acknowledge

As we come nearer,
I feel your warmth.
Warmth draws me in
I see you here.
We touch each other tenderly.
Your  hand
on my face,
on my skin,
acknowledges my being.
At this boundary of my world and yours,
we touch.
I feel that peaceful breath,
the spirit,the wholeness of the flesh.
Touching gently,
we acknowledge the Otherness
the holiness of life itself,
in the form of the Beloved.
