I fall, completely open,
As though born anew,
Into the light - and hope
Into the good - and true.

Drinking into my spirit
Treacle of trails - and trees,
Vanquishing every fear and
Blessing the bliss - and breeze.

Looking in strangers' faces
With an enlightened smile,
With angels trading places
To be them for awhile,

Basking in timeless sunshine -
Standing, head full of stars -
Feeling galactic passion -
From here - and to Mars;

Looking at women dancing
Seeing their spirits bloom
Evening and night romancing -
Universe! I'm your groom!

I have become a poet.
That means, I'm in love
With everything I know, and
My spirit, like a dove

Soars in the skies and clouds
There to avail of light:
Sinful and yet devout -
In there I take flight -

Telling the world: Hello,
It's like we have first met:
What you are, I don't know,
But I do not regret

Seeing you as you're now
And as you're yet to be:
Great gifts that you bestow
Which I at last can see -

Universe! In your essence
Lives all that's good and true
And after all the lessons
I've come to facing you:

You, in your daylight splendor!
You, in your gorgeous night!
And to you I surrender
That I in you take flight!

Shine on me, heaven's beauty!
Hold and enfold me, earth!
Waters, by man polluted,
Will flow, clear, from their source -

Flowers and lakes and meadows -
Seagulls and butterflies -
Forms, silhouettes, and shadows -
With newly opened eyes

I see you in your essence;
And, as if born anew,
Rich with your incandescence,
I fall in love with you.
