Be two
It is to invent the world,
It is to offer the hand
In the white dove
So that she carries the peace,
Be two
It is to learn to dance
In the wild grass,
To pick flowers
Which have no existence,
It is to leave the water
Understand the river
And drink the heart,
Be two,
It is to learn to count,
To add the moon and the earth,
It is to look at the sky
So that it understands us
Be two
It is to give a sense to bees
And know how to soften the verb
To embellish the life ..

Definitely two - though not as unique as one, but two, that's 1 and 1 enhanced.

enjoyed,

Another mesmerizing poetic offering from you, dear Yann.

It's what happens when two inspire each other and exist more fully and more in harmony with All There Is.

Before experiencing the "One" there must be "Two".

Fantastic.

Elle est merveilleuse la version française originale, cher Yann. J'ai eu grand plaisir et joie de la lire. Mais en tous cas aussi en anglais l'effet est surprenant!
