From Formlessness To Something

In empty space in the sky,
mist comes together to form clouds

Deep in the dark, fireflies come
together to form a divine glow,
creating a beautiful reflection
on the crystalline pond

In a thick forest, strangers walk
through it day by day, later creating
a path that was not there before

Drops of rain fall from the cloudy
sky to a hollow ground, to form a lake

Love comes to be
when two strangers meet,
and embrace each other with a flame
of romance and passion
