THE CONNECTION

A kiss leaves two behind,
           creating one without fear.

Oneness bids me kneel at the altar of myself,
           because there is no I.

I am what I have always been,
           the one self is God as me.

Oneness lies within,
           urging love at first sight.

What is needs no cultivation,
           only blessing.

Earth makes each a light to his world,
           so that all decrease and one grows,
           killing fear with singular vibration.

Intimacy bridges two shores
           to live the oneness between,

God is the kiss,
           his Being my living.


                                                    ----Tom Stanks, Superseed, 1998
