Our Day of Birth

Our Day of Birth

The speed of life 
takes us by surprise, 
that glimmer in us
projects, through twinkling eyes.

That knowing in us
not yet ripe, unseen,
breeds in our unconscious
inexperienced a hazy green.

Our day of birth
that day of all days,
commences for us
our life, the expanding play.

As seedlings grow
as great timbers fall,
the waves of oceans
beckon us again, to recall.

Arisen and full awake
our eyes opened, see,
all that lay before us
chaos in majesty.
