Who Am I

Before you know my name 
You might want to know a little about me

I came from the land ends
From a bittersweet dream 
From the end of seasons
From beyond the future

I brought honey bees 
Ancient’s jaundice
But short memory 

I came to turn back to the sunset 
To ignore the crown rooster
To cross oceans
To insult the faith of candlelights  

Before you know my name
Let me hug you
Kiss you 
Warm you 

Let me feel your soul 
Hear your prayers
Calm your ghostly fears
Let me take away all the madness 
All the sadness 
All the happiness that has been overshadowed your way home 

Before you know my name 
You might want to know who I am


I’m the spring’s promise
The summer stars partying on the sky 
The autumn leaves returning to the firm ground
The winter’s tender laziness

I’m a Polar Bear in Sahara
An eager cry of hope     
A prophet wandering in the darkness 

I’m the new moon’s prudent smile
The wind whistles in a gloomy night
A mad thunder spitting fireballs 

I'm the ancients' dream 
A hope of oppression 
A freedom's flame in a lost cage 

I'm the universe's blind spot 
A diamond stone spiked in the sun’s heart   
A jellyfish's sad equation

I'm the memory of love
The son of death
A double edged-sword

Before you know my name
Please tell 
Who am I?
