Come to Us from Us (2/28/16)
Come to Us from Us (2/28/16)

Unless your soul has been intimate with this door for a long time,

No beauty, no harmony in existence.

If hundreds of raindrops fell from the clouds to the sea,

Not even one would conceive a pearl without Love.

This Is a Gift for You (2-7-16)
This Is a Gift for You (2-7-16)

You are hiding your heart from me, pretending you don’t know anything about it.
