Together
the preacher intones
"The Lord be with you"...
the congregation responds
"and also with you"
the Priest resonates Mass
"The Lord be with you"...
the Rabbi also desires
"Lord be with you"...
and the Imam, the Shaman
the faithful all around
are told the simple truth
surrounded by tomed tenet
what Lord deeply desires
"be with you"
the young lovers whisper
with quiet, frenetic passion
"I want to be with you"
and often say the other way
"I want you to be with me"
the simple secret,
the DNA of what is, just is
that our being,
our very existence
is ...together
whether is accented
"to BE with you", or
"to be with YOU"
it's about proximity
it's life shared
light shared
tears shared
love shared
it's about touch
it's about fingers
and hands, tangled limbs
warmth and cool reality
it's about gazing,
just looking
just being there
deity ain't no fool
it's all about
"to be with you"
