Because the rolling waves blur the pebbled shore,
because soft waters chisel mountains leaving grains of sand,
because the black of night wears well the silver moon,
because of raging winds and crooked trees whose naked limbs
are interweaved (as if in love)
because a butterfly fell into my line of sight today, and with
senses stripped I stood transfixed as beauty cast so lightly
fell like chains about my being.
