All The Hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a
while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the
meadows and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
Make a new
water-mark on your excitement
And love.
Like a blooming night
flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our
intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a
day.
All the hemispheres in
existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.
Greet Yourself
In your thousand
other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back
home.
All the hemispheres in
heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting
While stitching themselves
together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.
