Nora's Nursery



Ether drifting, outward bent
Smokey evenings waking breath
And unto me an Angel lent,
an Angel lent unto my death.

The Willows weeping give the clue
To make the one you need the two
The two that had but half a heart
And had a love once split apart;
They found each other;
time, and space
Perfect time, perfect place

The me, the her, the we, the two;
The loving pair,
Created you
