“The common soul, unguarded, and grown strong”
We listened together
because you wanted me
to hear something beautiful
and I did:
now I cannot stop listening
cannot stop feeling my heart beat
in the middle of that music
We sang together
because you wanted us
to produce something beautiful
and we did:
now I cannot stop sending my voice
out from my heart’s tongue
into the middle of the world
into the middle of the world
