Gentle embracing thoughts

Tender memories of a time of smiling

Of connection

Of being among the living

And joyous breathing

Tears of laughter

Tender moments of enjoyment

With friends

With music and dance

And food and sweet wine.

Fire bright reaching up to the stars

Dancing with the music

Of the hearts of those who gather.

Wisdom and sweet caress of mind like souls

We are who we are with

Reflection of society and the soul.
