Communion
 

As we gather on the living room floor and share our lives,

I am flooded by emotions and feelings that I have never felt before.

I am a witness to a marriage of two souls,

a member of a trinity unimagined before. 

To label it female bonding would be as much an insult as it would be ignorance,

rather it is a union of two like hearts,
two like minds,
two like struggles and challenges,
two like sisters, friends and yes, even lovers.

Happy as I am,

I am unable to escape the traces of envy that pulse through my body.

The yearning desire to be a more intimate member of this union,

of this beauty, of this birth......
 

Then, finally, understanding that this is a birth,
my envious pulses give way,
to a more steady flow of acceptance,
I feel content.

Content to be the third member of this enchanted, spiritual revival,

to watch as you both revel in yourselves and each other.

Finally, only desiring to learn and grow with you,
 

 I watch, I laugh, and I love.
