I knew a God
…Some river before I
Was drawn to the rhythm
As if to say it could happen
The lark sang its first song.
…Some star before I
Was drawn to the glitter
No one stopped me from noticing
The last and most colorful page.
…Some rose before I
Was drawn to the aroma
With only fate left for picking
The first drop of morning dew.
…Some thorn before I
Was drawn to the pain
As if the migraine could welcome
The final confrontation with life.
