Way down

In the sweet soul, honey

 

It's just you and I

And the universe 

Singing 

 

And the spreadsheets 

The emails

The lists and the meetings

Are a cosmic 

Glance at glory

 

The strangers in passing 

With a glancing recognition,

And the communion of people familiar

Where love drinks together,

Are all whispers of you

There

 

Way down 

In the sweet soul

 

There's a place there

Of peace

And through the cracks of

My humanity -

The quirks and quandaries 

The struggles and imperfections

The mastery and the mystery -

It pours fourth

Leeches out:

The wonder of it

A light to the world

 

No, not mine

But there, within 

 

From way down

In the sweet soul,

Honey.
