The Silk Worm

I stood before a silk worm one day.

And that night my heart said to me,

"I can do things like that, I can spin skies,

I can be woven into love that can bring warmth to people;

I can be soft against a crying face,

I can be wings that lift, and I can travel on my thousand feet

throughout the earth,

my sacks filled

with the

sacred."

And I replied to my heart,

"Dear, can you really do all those things?"

And it just nodded "Yes"

in silence.

So we began and will never

cease.
