Assimilation

I will meet you
in the dark
less we be distracted
from the tactile operations
of souls

the feeling creatures that
we are, too often unwilling
to accept and grease mere
basic mechanics of self

thinking revelation a fantastic
outer light, and not those inner 
clarities we are born with

illumination not by spectrum 
degrees, but by dear assimilation
with the divine

A most thoughtful write Joe, it tells of lives lived in the midst of the mist, of the world we inhabit
