_**Teaser**_

Sacred recitation
 Rebounds From the sinking lips. Agile stream of love Faithfully
vibrates Its content And intimate meaning.

*******

Memories are preserved
 In the tiny pebbles Of the meandering flow. Songs of love
scintillate On the colourful edge Of the living span. The caring warmth Of our creation
Nurtures us to rest In the evening hours.

*******

Our love is a ceaseless
 Melodious celebration, Our love is the lamp And we are 
its brightness, Our love is a song And we are its rhythm.
