10 " Renga with KatieThere's no better placeThan in each moment with youTraveling through lifeRegardless of place and time,Or seasons and location,I never look backTo a time without you thereAnd wish to returnWe are each other's constantIn an ever changing worldOn a pilgrimageTo no place particular,DestinationlessEach moment we're arrivingAt another sacred place Appreciating,Remembering life beforeYou opened my eyesIt's both vivid and soothing Like I'd never had visionNow I see the way,As we travel togetherThe fog is liftedEach sight reveals each otherEach step reveals another "

15 " I lay next to her,The sound of her breathing fillsThe room and my heart "
