Analysis of Focus



Rays come together at middle point of locus:
beams of energy
in solitary focus
Flesh weds together at ardent points of desire:
wraps of the body
in animated wildfire
Minds join together at distinct points of intent:
links of interest
in definitive consent
Hearts bond together at special points of largess:
ties of affection
in unitary caress
Souls meld together at revered points of esprit:
yokes of the sacred
in ethereal decree
Worlds fuse together at extant points of seeing:
blend of the cosmos
in universal being
