I consider the brightness
that makes all this possible –
presence of substance,
primal truth of everything,
molten beneath a very thin crust,
goodness in essence, ready to break through
Look – see how it’s done so
here in these evening moments
where we laughed, and made music,
joined rhythms together,
rode on one sound we collectively made,
celebrated the light
And behind it, the brightness
that makes it all possible,
present and primal,
truth of our substance,
bearing us through our days,
authoring all our ways,
cause of our being
our love and delight.
