Where We Begin

Where We Begin


I am thinking about you again
Like so many times before 
But unlike then
I am kneeling before you
Head gently bowed
Not as in prayer 
With palms together
But with palms open
Waiting to serve
I look into your eyes
Without a word
You kneel before me 
Placing your hands 
Palms open 
Into mine
It is a desire shared
To be whatever the other needs
And we need to be close
As close as two people can become
And that is where we begin
