POEM:

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous

      while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds will
   never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the

   who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
   “Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
   and bow their heads.
