Have the courage
to tread the edge of
impossibility
where each stride
is a river of fault lines,
where love begins
rupturing boundaries
all at once.
Hear the tides surge
in a hue of indigo bliss
roaring, "how do you live
on the horizon
of an incessant abyss?"
An ocean of stars
have become none for
we have become one
after many nights.
The ground trembles
at the moon's glow
as blossoms ripen,
as the torrent within
us begin to soar and
the Earth greets us again:
Now is a good time
to live once more.

A bad earthquake at once destroys the oldest associations: the world, the very emblem of all that is solid, has moved beneath our feet like a crust over a fluid.
