Subject: Unity

I think of our gatherings together all
I think of how we must all then leave
And turn away to go forth to the following day
The influence made, our reaction shaped

Gently we turn away from these connections made
With great thanks and fond farewells, energy raised
Training that light in brightness, our closer bonds
More fully connecting those who's light we hold so dear

And still we shine to each other, gleaming bright
Reflecting on the good connections that affect us
No matter how far away in time and distance
Where there's affection, a beacon shines clear

Bright beacons and mirrors shining
Catching the light at times of memories shared
A web of light, touch of love
Guide us all to those souls who make us shine most bright

When our hearts are open to the brightness
As much as we will ourselves to open to
The brightness of their glowing light, 
Many colored lamps with a unique intensity

Connecting hearts we remember
We have just one world though we live in different ones
And we all spend time in our own world, separate and alone
Still holding on to reflections so dear

Elesa, where are your songs
Of the black morning and the river of love
How sail your seas now? Are the pirates gone?
It's been so long, Elesa, my old friend
