Light falls across your face
as trees outside sift sun
through their low branches

Late afternoon finds us here
refreshed, at peace, settled
into what has been revealed today
of steady power, solid strength,
sovereignty

In the end, we can only be
true, we can only emanate
what we really are.
We learn it here, in the centered
witnessing of each other.
We learn it here
in what we see
and what we give.
