"What is it and is love its name?"

What Brings Us Together

for Robert and Aurora

The dynamic of our sharing
Our caring and our not-caring
Being parallel and bearing
With one another through the day
And then at evening still to say
It is good not to be alone

What is it and is love its name?

Knowing others and being known
Whatever it is seems to be
The way we human beings came
To be if perhaps the hard way
But it is and love is its name
And love is what it is to me

Love! I would know you anywhere
As you care and as you not-care

And be

Asking no less than everything
Being the song the singers sing

Like me

In the journeying alongside
As we circumnavigate this
Wheel on which our destiny is
Determined on a bumpy ride

Where cheek by jowl and chockablock
We size each other up take stock
Some more agreeable than some

Love is what brings us together
Love is what makes us overcome
Obstacles when and not whether

And so we are together as
We find each other now and here
Those twins what-will-be and what-was
Feeling unwelcome disappear

And we are left here face to face
Together in this time and place
Love makes it work by light and grace
With one another through the day
And then at evening still to say
It is good not to be alone
