As it begins
All those tiny raining drops
Wherever they fall
Inside a symphony
Toward a glorious  lull
The maris the mate
Inlockatude
we wait
Never recede
Openly embrace
We're one and the sane
Not peering back
to all that never was
There's only now
Here together
There's us
To drift closer to
the  beautiful Inbetween
Of every  cascading drop
Sheltered by
Your opening hand
We cross
In flow
to a narrowing glide
An emerging life
It beckons
It calls
I know you hear it
I'm sure I can too
To all that ' ll be
For ever how long
Its welcomed
Embraced.
