Naked Before Words

You must go naked
to visit the beginning
when light was your only vision,
your incomplete heart your only possession
and discovery your only desire.
 
Recall how the days scratched mystical notches
on your insignificance.
Your only certainty was the feeling the joy
from knowing you were a knot
on a root
of a tree in life’s dream.
 
You had not a single doubt
on your way to life’s smile.
Your lips, never touched by a word,
formed to a kiss.
