Hey you, child of life
Where did you come from?
From you and for you
What myths, histories and tales have been told?
What mysteries wait to be unfold?
Where exactly you are now?
Here or nowhere?
From where come that feeling
That feels like waves of unknown material
Like something so familiar
Yet so unreal?
Hey you, son of nature’s will
Aren’t the kingdom of God everywhere?
Inside and outside?
Aren’t the road that leads to ignorance
A dead end?
Aren’t the road that leads to nowhere,
(or somewhere)
A narrow path in the beginning
Although a broad path in the middle
And where nobody saw an ending?
From you and for you
Came the code for all there’s natural
Came the will and the love
To walk into that narrow path
To fade into that ending light
To unfold all the answers and all the questions
That men asked to the shines of night…
Hey you, child of life
Aren’t you so certain now
If you live to survive
Or only to be alive?
Rafael Arrais, 2009
