All is unmasked. All is welcome

I danced the whole night through,

alone on the empty floor

I was dancing for you.

When you came I became real.

I was real at last.

I cannot hold on to you in any way, but I can live you.

live you with all that I have.

Beloved, by remembering your name I lose my own forever

all I remember is you, the way you fill me totally

how miraculous it is, this sensation of having no place

called mine anymore

I am every color in the universe

and my God is the artist

I shiver at this honor, my head at your feet

ripples of pure beauty gently whisper through the room

all is unmasked, all is welcome.
