Maybe time itself is a music that stopped playing
just long enough for me to clearly hear your call.

Between the moment before and moment after,
my heart caught up with my soul at last.

Because I could suddenly hear you, my ears became
very happy. And my eyes, they’ve never turned away.

Whenever you smile in my direction, I no longer
wonder why I came here to this carnival of ghosts.

I realize that I can move straight towards you now,
even though we have never truly been divided.

The divine humor of this paradox makes us
laugh right out loud — God is playing with us!

Whatever life we may have had before has become
the pages of a book entitled “Longing”. We placed it
high on a dusty shelf — we wouldn’t need it anymore.
