We are opposites.
And we sing different songs.
But in the same key.
I am ten crows, twenty-three starlings,
one tree, a world of racket, every dusk that ever was.

I am a holy heart four angels defend,
other times I am nothing but flesh and fingertips.

There are four seasons, three necessities,
two sides to the moon.

The window has eight panes;
I am in them all.

#55
I fill my happiest dreams with you.

Loved you then, loved you since, love you now.
Over and over, you envelop my thoughts.
Valued is each moment, memory, dream of you.
Every knowledge of you deepens my love.

You bring peace and joy to my days.
Our hearts are entwined.
Unabashedly I seek more of you.
