The Mixing of Spirits

It's easy to think
of the mixing of spirits
as being something sexual...
because, in a way, it always is.

Mixing engenders 
the kinds of connections
that go deeper inside
than the usual interactions.

It's easy to think
that you know what's happening
when you're oblivious
to the sword of the truth.

When you don't understand 
all the nuances and subtleties
it's easy to think
you know what's going on.

The mixing of spirits 
flows beyond comprehension;
it's only reflected
on the bright sword of Truth.
