THE UNION OF TWO

Two hands to hold him

Two shoulders to wear

The coo of his voice

The smell of her hair.

 

Two eyes to see

What is perfectly true,

Life’s beauty created

By the union of two.

 

By the union of two

The yang and the yin.

By the union of two

The out and the in.

 

By the union of two

A spirit to be

Mother and father

And infant makes three.

 

Love engenders

Two into one.

Female and male

Life is the sum.

 

Innocent infant

Daughter or son

This poem is for you

Who has recently come.
