For how many mornings
Has the pink sun
Been touching you?
How many stars
Hurried down to meet you?
And winds? Remember,
That day
When you almost
Got to know the ground
And remember
When you were
Just a flower?
Silk petals
In his hand
You had many guests then
All wearing stripes
Buzzing "I love you"
How many birds
Made you jealous,
Wing envy?
Before your first rain
You didn't know
How the sky cries
And you didn't know
How you looked
Until she came to a mirror
To fix her hair,
While holding you
In her hand
