The Arc
The Rahau: what can the chattering mind add before the all-knowing One? The verse rests in being fully known — the unspoken already heard — so there is no need to pretend; the presence is comforting company, not a watcher. The close fills with gladness: there is no second maker, and this love is a colour that never washes out.
