**1**
From Day to Night
Ocean to Desert
Silence to Noise
Absence to Presence
You to Me.
**2**
The energy which brought you together.
The force which made distance vanish.
The will which made this time,
Slow down.
To this moment.
**3**
May your Mornings filled with each other’s smile.
May your Day filled with each other’s creativity.
May your Nights filled with each other’s deep listening.
May your dreams filled with each other’s image.
**4**
This is a poem that will not end.
This is a poem that will continue.
I Push. You Pull.
This is a poem that will have conflict.
This is a poem that will resolve.
You Push. I Pull.
This is a poem that’s open for collaboration.
This is a poem that’s ready for interpretation.
Merge Complete.
