The night draws out --
as if still yearning to linger...
but a star will burst forth
and morning will quickly break.
We linger in dawn-dim rooms,
silently contemplating our fate...
Our lives seem so minute,
so limited compared to the
ever-lasting cosmos.
We seem staid -- and yet,
our hearts are not that way.
We need merely to step out upon
the great expanse --
need only take that first step,
and the eternal essence
will receive us.

I am very sad today, 6/14, Addy. I miss my sister...
