How Could You Know How You Came Here

Your birth was the blessing of trillion stars And how could you know how you came here so Dreams of how many nights sublimed Loves of how many births glorified And prayers of how many years implemented Neither this world nor you would ever know save God And us, companioned for a thing divine as of a little flower That with endurance might one day adorn and sweeten our garden fair Time stole by with the sun unmoved And the moon, faithful moon stood By us while stars were watchful Blessing every dream of thousand nights as blissful With loves of countless lives and prayers of million days Were all that made you possible through unto this world of paradise But the flame that took years to ignite How could it be put out in a minute? Not wild was the wind nor rain surging That they could blow away the sun so illuminating Oh is it in the sky of your mind Where risen a stormy wind That lashed the coast of eye-shore with rainstorms Thus putting out forever the last flame of hope with us Oh, stars above, how could they stand and hold themselves Upon seeing they would fall like snowflakes, like flowers Shrivelled yet kindled like morning star To cover your once-beaming face warm and fair
