Your eyes and mine
Locked in one moment
As we trace the stars
And embrace the signs
Life’s longing for
As we awake to our thirst,
And till the earth
Let us pray we have the strength of kind
To see a blossom cross this stage of time
To let our verse sing out in broken rhyme
As nature knows each will from birth
I remember when I saw you first
It has come down to this driving thirst
Like rippling waters
Rushing past banks of musty earth
Our love has become a river
Into which life must flow
Our souls claim a destiny
Let us take hold
Of these waters of life
As we grow old
Let the richness of your flower
Set root in my soil
May your hundred verses
Dance ten thousand lines
Come nectar of destiny
Let us hear
Our sweet lips seal
This ancient rhyme
