ROOTS AND FRUITS

As they grow

they send out new shoots
To each other alone
belong their roots.
To all the world
belong their fruits.

with stolen light have more power than the almost infinitely greater sized stars?

 in a past life, dying as a nonagenarian man. It removed my attraction.

  in ever greater perfection. We are what we desire.
