She stood there in the moonlight.
I had to stop to see, and so did the moon,
and the stars, and the breeze that touched
her hair, and the yellow darkness,
even the wholeness of the night!

The light shines upon the harlot and,
As well, shines on me for whatever I am . . .

I keep coming back to Walt Whitman's enduring line--- ". . . for every atom that belongs to me, as well belongs to you."

You convey the feeling of oneness stunningly well, dear Art!

This is definitely a little gem.

Love,

Yo Art,

This is top of the line as far as I'm concerned.

I like it a lot.
