Act Two
How beautifully you had wrapped yourself
in flowing gown - with colorful ribbons
and delicate seam!
It had become talk of the town.
Your performance spread an aura
of heavenly admiration: spirit
joyous in its inward journey.
In upcoming pure effulgence
my being also shone with you,
reflecting the sameness within -
of one soul though the bodies two.
Now that the curtain is to fall,
O beautiful enchantress,
do not insist to keep to myself
the story of our first encounter.
