I Became the Fish
I Became the Fish
One raindrop fell
on my tongue
and I became the fish
who drowned in
the ocean
of light.
A rose opened.
I fell
into its core
and transformed into
the seed of all life.
The sun's rays
scorched
the desert sand
and burnt away all signs of awareness.
I bloomed silently below
and became the molecule
of the world
of living things
that exist
even amidst the dunes
and cinders.
