A butterfly lights on my fingertip
--an embodied thought
of Divine Love and Beauty
--Communing for a moment
In the perfect stillness of my peaceful heart
I honor this diaphanous Miracle
In the quiet Caress
of open hands...
As all those we love
Need to be received....
Holding loosely, In our two hands
--and letting go--
Unbinds our Souls
So that we can welcome (over again)
Those whom G-d guides
To the radiant beacon
of our unfettered hearts
