[addictedtoyou04]

When I resolve into the essence
That I most truly am,
I feel a deep connection
With every living thing.
For that which most imbues me
With my identity 
Is somehow in the other, too,
So that when I look around
I see myself - reflected.
Hidden in this union
Is the wonderful discovery
That if indeed the angels
Have wings - 
Then so do I.
And if the essence of a flower
Drifts out on a gentle breeze - 
Then so do I.
And if the midnight sky
Is radiant with light - 
Then so am I.
And if the silent mystery
Somehow becomes revealed
In tiny dewdrops fair - 
Then so will I.
For every lovely thing
Manifests the essence
Of which I am a part,
So beware, my soul, beware,
And move with gentle heart
Throughout this mystic veil.
For if Love has left its imprint here - 
Then so have I!
