Like forms emerging from fog,
a feeling starts to separate
from the narratives,
a commonality
cognized with surprise,
self-fathoming through glimpses of another

Quick connecting of the dots
until the web’s expanse is stunning
and we feel ourselves
wondrously
held in something
whose omnipresence
renders dislocation impossible

We each came here alone,
yet, to arrive, we had to come together,
had to see each other, and how we all share
the vastness of this view,
how we have achieved
belonging through reverence.
