Listen to the city
The city is at peace

My combination
Of heart
Of soul
Of spirit
Equals love
For myself, yes
Equally, for others
As my heart
Soul, spirit grow
So does my love
They bloom
At all hours
In all conditions
From my soil
Of heart
Of soul
Of spirit
Comes something
Deep, rich, enduring
Love
