THE VERY ACTION OF BE

Granting of beingness

Is not just a pose 

It is life itself 

Poured from sacred hearts 

It is instant combustion 

Of one to another 

It is the ultimate validation 

Of supreme existence 

It is the holiest 

Of holy 

Go about your business

But remember to

Grant, Give, Confer, Award, Bestow

The very existence of another

And their right to live

Survive and coexist

It is the holiest 

Of holy
