2002 was a time of transition, and a lot of associated turmoil. Throughout that, my partner and I unwaveringly supported each other and this brought me much joy (and peace). 

Listen.

He is sunlight and the song of the wind.

When shade plays as some exotic vision,

his pictures are a place of sweet sanctuary.

How can I reflect, when he is in need?

I struggle with dead dreams,

yet we stare into the light, 

and we shine.

We emerge always together,

breathing love for eternity.

soaring, delirious and essential

with a secret language for peace.
