lyrics

The nature of a child

Unknown fragile flowers
thriving by a tiny river,
a trickle of water.
Pistils, petals, calyxes,
arrow-like leaves,
airstrips to butterflies
some dressed in translucent purple,
or in pale yellow
or in some African totem disguises
I am that young girl whose hands
are floating in the stream of glass pearls
I am that forever lonely child
breathing into the microcosmos
the endless, invisible time

I am that young animal,
not yet defined
a fox, a wolf, a wild cat,
fearless of seasons,
of wars, of treasons.

I am that ladybird,
climbing the thick
blade of green grass
that same grass you cut with your teeth
and it gives you a fluorescent white milk

I am that offspring soul
a hazardous incarnation,
on an unframed miniature picture
a red ant, a blue dragonfly,
a green lizard, a brown snail...
a lonely child, an unknown flower,
shaded with some pigments
engraved into Mother Nature
