We have so much to say,
any attempt will only fall short,
and so we say nothing at all,
but no more.

We are happy now to recite
prayers for your joy,
your health and bounty.

Our wishes for peaceful
starlit skies you can penetrate
with an ardent scan.

Warm fires against your back
to throw your shadows on the wall;
you float above your lover’s.

We close respectfully
with the heartfelt desire
for you to experience nothing.

Nothing but perfect days,
timeless days,
puffed sails,
and slow wet turquoise.
