Music heard with you was more than music,

I thank him now
before it grows too late
or too quite.

At the beginning, compassion is like a seed;
in the middle, it is like water;
at the end, it is like a ripened fruit.

STARS IN LOVE

We were two old souls
since time began—
before light was measured
in years.

We are stars that fell
from glittering skies,
to find each other here.
