The Choice

THE CHOICE HE WAS asleep Between space and time The first light on the world Floated idly On him He was just born. His folded hands Glowed a pale pink To keep the fire of life He wondered if he was really awake. Is it the true world? Is it the true village? Is it the true nest? He kept kicking And cried like a scared owl. God trod to the next village.
