Two glowing human forms embracing on a forest floor, illuminated by a beam of light between their heads, surrounded by gravestones and autumn leaves in the poem “Duet.”

Love is the fibrous intermingling of our lives and beings. All else falls away into the forgotten gravestones of wounding ill-spoken words and awful permeating silences now buried under the rain-softened leaves of fallen time. Now there is only the clarity of love - notes played true which run like a plumbline through our beings. It nourishes in silence and absence, it enlightens in the midst of all the darknesses we encounter.
