The Day You Were Born

The day you were born

The wind whispered sweet nothings to the trees

and shook the very first of autumn's delicate leaves

They danced among the leaves with a tumble and a toss

Intertwining together in a beautiful waltz

And they touched the forest ground with a thump so gentle it didn't even make a sound

Then the colors formed a sea

That leaves a crunch beneath your feet.

The day you were born

Mother Venus cried and she weeped

Because her sweet and innocent stars

Ran away from the night sky

To get stuck in your eyes

And that would be the only day even Jupiter's furious storms subside.

The day you were born

not a vulger word was said

Enemies of enemies sat down at the round table to share a loft of bread

The day you were born

All the clocks silenced their ticking

and everyone took a moment

to listen to your first breathe
