worship

I fell into worship the moment I found myself inside your eyes

Drawing light from inside shadow
You cross rivers without losing breath
Untie words tethered to phantoms

careful, profound, unconcerned

I
worship
what you are

and how you came to be

dazzled by light
alive in a stroke of paint
still
in the belly of river

I watch

...as you worship, so you become

the thought, the essence
in form and furthermore formless

I watch

as you bow

I bow

to worship

is to become


the love you give
