Text by Patricia Van Ness

My true love breathes into me nothing but love, and tells me,
“Amidst all, there is nothing but loving-kindness;
everything is love.”

Rose petals float on the water — hundreds; a milky way —
gliding above golden fragments.

My true love sails with me in a blue, blue ship,
blue as the blue of the cradling sea,
as the blue twilit air where my true love breathes,
“Amidst all, there is nothing but love.”
