No Better Gift

No Better Gift 



When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
 marry, at once, quickly, 
for God’s sake!

Don’t postpone it! 
Existence has no better gift.

No amount of searching
 will find this.

A perfect falcon, for no reason,
 has landed on your shoulder,
 and become yours.



From The Book of Love
