“On that fundamental ground
Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound
And half the perfect world is found.”

"Half the Perfect World" (2006) (co-written with Anjani)
Other Lyrics
Context: The candles burned
The moon went down
The polished hill
The milky town
Transparent, weightless, luminous
Uncovering the two of us
On that fundamental ground
Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound
And half the perfect world is found.
