If You Love Someone by Tagore

If you love someone
Set him free.
If he returns
He is yours.
If he doesn't
Yours he never was

And never will be.

A Night in Mendocino

Over the milky-way
in the distant galaxy --
the stars softly glee,
as the pulsars sway.

The ink-black night
sets a fitting canopy,
to stage the bounty
of all blue and bright.

On our ranch pond,
the twinkles descend
to kiss, to transcend
a star-studded fond!

In this autumn flight
of whispering zephyr,
the pine-oaks murmur
at the dead of night.

Bursts of cackle smack
at the calming silence --
but her stolid defiance
lulls this slumber jack!

In such ethereal calm,
joy 'n love unending
heal aches 'n hurting
like her magic balm.

The gig of the infinity
across horizon's brim
fuels hope and dream
for upright humanity.
