A lark is a lark is sure a lark
a song is a song a note sung
a moment is a moment a flicker of time
words are a word as are a line
skies are but skies as is a horizon
a fire is a fire as is a pyre
love is but love as is a heart
eyes are but eyes as is to see
flight is a flight as is a bird
rain is but rain is as a tear drop
giving is but to give but is to receive
to want is to need but is to provide
desire is but to crave but is to worship
divine is to walk on water as is to be upheld
to fly high is but to soar as is to be free
to know is but to hear is but to think freely
to hold is but to comfort is to be complete
and to touch is but to feel as is to love
for to be is but to live as is to breathe
as if connected as to be within but to be one
as if to fly on high as is a plane as but is the lark

I'm reminded very much of the contrasting pairs in the Dhammapada.
The line: "to hold is but to comfort is to be complete"... I don't think anyone has ever managed to express the human need to be connected so concisely before.
