There is an absence
The air deserted space
No wind to sway the trees
Dew droplets remained
Did not slip away from leaves
There is me in this scene
A woman who imparted her name
In the sake to remain
Just a soul within your arms
A light that fills the absence
I'm your soul within the silence
In a transcending light
Ecstasy in burning flame
Unlike desire
In love tracing
Spread her rays
All alight with tenderness
This soul falls gently
Embracing yours
