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 excitementAnd love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And givingUpon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equatorIn your heart.
Greet YourselfIn your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide
and travelBack home.
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fireChatting
While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside ofYou.
