LOVE BIRTH: A Vernal Celebration

	Until you sensed a blossom within me
	i slept as a dormant seed
	unaware of anything further
	than the darkness
	encasing me

	As spring came
	sunlight awakened forces
	i only dimly perceived

	Slowly my head lifted up
	peeping above clods of dirt
	as tendrils awakened
	in fields where countless
	seedlings gained birth

	Gaining strength in sunlight  
	I became a blossom 
	whose petals sang 
	through color:

	Oh joy!
	Oh life!
	Oh spring!


Bai-Luo: Love is a kind of awakening – with this I agree.

Don:     Well, there are so many kinds of love. Aren't generalizations futile?

Aiko:    (irritated) When will you drop your intellectualizations? They're so sterile!

Don:     (mischievously) Let's make a bargain. I'll drop my intellectualizations 
         if you drop your rhetoric!
