(n-179)
.
i learned a new word today-- lovely!
i heard a new thought today-- innocence
she was ravished by her father-- compassion
i learned a new beginning today-- giving
yesterday i am warrior at a wrong time-- benevolence
she, taught me how to close my eyes-- peace
tomorrow i learned a new word for today-- caring
(but today is finished-- Her !)
.
see the dark sun and the brightness of night?-- confounded?
i give her a new vision-- happiness!
am i redeemed?-- return!
too pure for this world, too strong to leave it-- laugh !
i am the hell-- suffer !
she teaches me the way of heaven-- touch !
majestic presence-- merging
i dreamed a new word today-- passion
(please take my name!)
