A long deathless journey delivers bodyless bodies to where he waits for her while fishing,
Glittery-white luminous lights dancing hither and thither on his line while fishing.

Boundless beating of his heart begs, anticipating her as his catch while fishing.
Golden rods whip ripples, shaping constellations in the river of stars. For millennia he waits.

Patiently, he waits, knowing her incomparable soul is not yet floating in the river of stars.
His heart is restless, like a pointer finger on a string. Still, he waits, forever fishing.
