I WAS DEAD

I was dead
I came alive
I was tears
I become laughter
All because of Love
* * *
When if arrived
My temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal
* * *
Love said to me
You are not
crazy enough
you don’t fit this house
I went and
Become crazy
Crazy enough
To be in chains
Live said
Your are not
Intoxicated enough
You don’t
Fit the group
I went and
Got drunk
Drunk enough
To over flow
With light – headedness
Love said
You are still
Too clever
Filled with
Imagination and skepticism
I went and
Become gullible
And in fright
Pulled away
From it all
Love said
You are a candle
Attracting everyone
Gathering everyone
Around you
I am no more
A candle spreading light
I gather no more crowds
And like smoke
I am all scattered now
Love said
You are teacher
You are a head
And for everyone
You are a leader
I am no more
Not a teacher
Not a leader
Just a servant
To your wishes
Love said
You already have
Your own wings
I will not give you
More feathers
And then my heart
Pulled itself apart
And filled to the brim
With a new light
Overflowed with fresh life
Now even the heavens
Are thankful that
Because of love
I have become
The giver of light
