Once upon a time
In a far away land,
A soul made a wish
To the moon,
“May I find one true,
A glow for my eye
Who will hold me
In the dark.”
Once upon a time
In a far away land,
A soul made a wish
To the sun,
“May I find one true
Who will calm my fear
In the hot ray of heat.”
As many a star
Will leap
To hear the need
And will
Push the wave of the sea
To flow
And call the wind
In a gust
That will
Yell for the dirt
To rise
Sign for rain
To wash
A walk
That the sun
Will dry
Two of one
Find a path
To the half
That was lost
Once upon a time

A beautiful expression of the hermaphrodite myth & our search for the one who makes us whole again. That, & how the universe sometimes conspires to show us the path.
Brilliant & Beautiful!
