December Woman

In the inner courtyard of the December night
Love is cultivating endlessly in the heart of the lover
The land of attraction is awakening with the immortal attraction of the prayer
He is not a man in the south's happy embrace of prayer, but a woman

A woman’s embrace is the embodiment of a prayer being answered. The completion of a man’s soul.
