...The true purpose of the Universe is giving..

SATORI

It was  like this:
time stopped when her spirit
started dancing
around me.

It was like this:
I lost the sense of time completely
and with it
the sense of me.

It was like this:
the joy of finding filled all the spaces
and I surrendered
with joy.

It was like this:
time whirled when her spirit
left one day
releasing mine

It was like this:
I grasped the sense of time completely
and with it
the sense of me.

She still lives
in the neighboring street
watering her garden
everyday.
