Was it the nearness of the ampleness?
The space between your words?
The suitable distance of grasping sense? 

What did I receive from your presence?
Suspending energy, sensitive - unsusceptible
Words like drops on silent sea, forming rings - creating circles

Echo from near distance - far nearness
groping softly to touch me
triggering tender waves in my receptive awareness

Shifting motions - vibrating silence
by being surrendered - being sustained
surprisingly feeling the answer without question

The whole is there, parts are parts of the wholeness
like words, like drops - from you and me
flowing together - in astonishment
