Like sun and sky reflected in the rhythm of the ever-flowing river,  
They embraced long before they touched,
Sweetly kissed in the soul before lips ever met.  
From eternity they were lovers,
Before stars sprinkled light across the canopy of darkness;
Wrapped one another in arms of affection,
Before oceans wrapped themselves round cold and formless earth.

They laughed and cried like wind and rain in the hallowed dreams of heaven
Before ever they wailed at birth;
Played like moonlight dancing along mountain lake,
Before ever they learned to walk.
Both belong to the other –
Giving and receiving everything and nothing.  

And one could not live without the other,
Any more than tree can grow without soil.  
They are two lovers; they are one soul.
One.
