I hope that you see poetry
in the water
that drips from the leaves of spring trees.
I hope you find the connection
between your thoughts
and what you're feeling.

I hope you learn
to hold the hands that need
to feel touch the most.
I hope you find the strength not to
entertain your ghosts.

I hope
you climb above the darkness
that has shrouded all of your light,
that you put away your anger
and that you sleep peacefully
through every night.

I hope that this is enough to say goodbye,
for this is all I've got left to give,

I hope that one day
you leave the place that you dwell,
and find a place to live...

One of your better poems, Kaoru, and that is saying something.

This applies to my every effort and you expressed it with an exacting clarity.
