That peace be with you, I offer my hand

That peace be with you, I offer my hand.
I see in your steady eyes that we can skirt
formality.  And for a moment stand
linked, feeling our fellowship in concert.
That peace be with you, I offer my hand.

Your touch reminds me that our apartness
has no part in our persuasion.  And peace
settles on this harmony like the quietness
of two swans on a lake, swimming at their ease. 
That peace be with you, I offer my hand.
