The Third Book*
The Book of Meaning*

Learning to trust yourself another time,

Stars in a child’s eyes,

Energy from a praise,

The hand of a dear friend,

The wind on your face,

A moment of sudden joy,

Time spent but not gone by

The Second Book*
Forms of Pain*

Losing yourself to distress,

Forgetting your own birthday,

Unrequited love,

The beauty of your rival,

Plans on a rainy day,

Vinegar on wounded skin,

Saying ‘goodbye’ again,

Roadblocks with no detour

The First Book*
A List of Pleasantries*

Behaving like a child,

A vase of dahlias and calla lilies,

A compelling story,

Believing in love again,

Making a fool of yourself,

A lover who is attentive,

The smell of rain through a window pane
