Audio Version (music by Saavane)
Be it so gentle
that an uttered word
would shatter the dream
Be it so subtle
that the breath of fire
would blow harmlessly past
Be it so complete
that even the question
would ignite a great war
Be it so beautiful
that its discovery
would finish the book
Be it so peaceful
that even a waveless ocean
would envy the calm
Love: so be it
. . .
“Runaway”
