We are joined to this
greater longing.

As the shore longs for a taste
of what the ocean holds.

As the ocean sends waves to
kiss the shore.

This is our dance.

There are things that call to
us from higher worlds.

The moon has a pull giving
rise to the liquid of our
desires.

The sun yearns in a touch so
fierce...its very distance is
required.

Any closer...we would burn
to this love.

And stars are but farther suns
that know this hunger well.

This is our dance.

We move in circles.

Joined to greater longings
still.

Fluid words, Eric.
