 A Journey of the Couple Soul 

Two landless souls emerge from one land of earth,
Breaking the wall of border,
Crossing the bondage of fear, 
Going to ignite the fire of lust
Like with sparrow's passion,
Wearing tilak of phoenix bird's ashes
That they can wander throughout the whole world,
To set fire on every injustice, 
To offer love to all.
They want to give birth a new world of unity 
Where everyone will get sunshine, air and water equally. 
The wing of couple soul has apparently started journey to the way of the world,
To spread aroma of peace across the World Village.
