On a night of warm and dangerous desire,
Snaring motes of stars in emerald eyes,

Those souls are of many shades 
They walk past me in my dreams,  
often with an utter silence, a heavy one,

We find mind not fully immersed therein
Assigning meaning to what we behold

Listen to the built-in
Meaning-making-murmur.
In the deepest recess
Of your inner being
In the subtlest string
