Above the ship to guide it through
While others swear t’was Mermaids eyes

when light meets dark;
a sacred union amidst 
cherry...

streams, a teardrop to stir bubbles
in circles. A panoramic view of my neighbourhood, faint laughter,

through the dark clouds, a chant...

How I wish to renew and set my life in order. 
In this season, I wish to make life’s dimensions broader
I am eager to cast my past behind and embrace a new way.

        Covered with cold tears from heaven this night.

The spring of healing has its own anthem, 
It takes the sand and the sun to mold an ornament of time, 
Glaring upon the moving mirror that floats on cold water, 
Blinded by a blaze set by the sins that made silent quivers run through...

Luminarias: outdoor fires of pine.
Both light quiet path on a Christmas night
for Mary and Joseph, old ones define
messages that the new babe is divine.

A candle in sack borrows from the two:
a delicate, hanging Chinese lantern, 
and small fires left as a signal,...
