Sacred Meeting

Even though

The true meaning of these events

Is not the one to which I cling

I will not stop believing

That it may end up that way

I will not stop composing verse

In ode to what I feel

And when the sacred meeting

Comes to pass and isn't fulfilled

I'll be relieved to find that I

Did not act on my will,

For as I know too well, I haven't

Quite the strength

To manifest desires,

But thankfully it's simple

To find some religious rationalization

To limit ourselves

And liberate our experience
