See a poem, post a poem.


The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, Love's Philosophy

More seriously, it's pretty. The imagery is very... ethereal. *turns all whimsical for effect*

It's a running joke with her poem.
