We are young
“
We have become as one, deep rooted in the soil of Life and tangled in the sweet growth
The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
Lo! Young we are and yet we have stood
Like planted hearts in the great Sun
Of Love so long (as two fair trees
In woodland or in open dale
Stand utterly entwined and breathe
The airs and suck the very light
Together) that we have become
As one, deep rooted in the soil
Of Life and tangled in the sweet growth.
Give the gift of love!
