To remember a day in a year
is to remember a minute
in an hour.
And to name a star in the sky
is to name a seed
in a flower.
To sing a note in a song
is to sing a word
in a letter.
And to make the sun hotter
is to make the ocean
even wetter.
To heal the cured with a touch
is to heal the dead
with a kiss.
And to love the unloved with a whole heart
is to love the devil
and not miss.
To want more when you have nothing at all
is to want nothing
when you love what you got.
And to want nothing when you have nothing
is to want it all
when you hate what you naught.

This is a revision of a different piece. I adjusted the flow a bit and moved a couple things around.

I agree a very good piece. You have truly shown your talent in this writing. Very nice. Only thing I'd do is take those "And"s out that start the lines, but hey that's just me. Kinda give it a Shatner effect.

Rock on. :horns:

not to break a theme here, but I have some issues with it.
the first three examples (to do this is to do that) make sense and sound like their working their way along in allegory to something poiniant. then comes "To heal the cured with a touch/is to heal the dead/with a kiss." which makes almost no sense. you can do it, but it's a stretch.
the waters are muddied to give them the illusion of depth for a while, but it does flow quite well for a while sounding profound.
but the last line "when you hate what you naught." is so awkward both in it's bad grammar and it's sylabic discord. if it's going to draw that much attention to itself it aught to have an obvious point. or at least be obvious that it has a point, even if the point itself is not immediately observable.

Can I have a piece of your pie?
It's very good. Where's the original? I'd like to read that too.
:iconcorruptedangel:
Feels quite depressing and what depresses me even more is how well you did it! i would be interested to see the original.

Hey thanks! I gotta go to class now, but I'll be sure to comment on your work when I get back @ 3. Thanks again.
