"I" and "you"

"I" and "you" focus light
like decorative holes cut
in a landscape.
But there is only One Light.


"I" and "you" throw a
thin veil between
heaven and earth.
Lift the veil and all
creeds and theologies disappear.


When "I" and "you" vanish,
how can I tell whether I am
in a mosue, a synagogue
a church, or an observatory?
