To live a life balanced

By beauty and pain.

To sacrifice,

Every day fertilize

Next year's gain.

A lifetime defined

By each cycle's depth,

Consciousness

Recycled in each breath.

Tides, eternal and

Always new,

Illuminate me,

And throw

Shadows on you.

We bathe

In ancient stars' holy light,

Awakening

For a moment to fight

A feeling

That we may be

Nothing more

Than just you or me.

In fact, we are nothing less

Than our creator

At her very best,

You are the beauty

That is me, and

There is nothing more

Beautiful than

That which is

We.
