"We Come From Mud, On The Way To God." - Arigo

Found another one of my old poems, from 1997.

======================================

Where the mud lies, you found a jewel

and the remnants of an egg thus treated cruel

in a former time, where love was not so grand

and when I was just a speck in the sand

came forth you, resplendent in all your beauty

then the darkness lifted from my eyes, and I could see

that love alone is all we really need

that hate, suffering, pain and greed

could never exist if we all had love just like the leaves in the beak of a dove

can come peace, hope and the dawn of eternity

blessing all souls like waves from a great big sea.

======================================

I like it. It's prescient.
