Creator

I remember well a certain poem,
The glory as it was born:
After long travail the glory
As I carved into their places
Those little last words that made it done.
I waved the writing over my head like a flag.
I read it and read it again, chanting;
Walking under trees, chanting it to the sky.
Te sound it made in my ears was beautiful,
And it made delicious smooth movements in my mouth,
Made my feet dance.
I cried aloud in delight;
I said: "It is good,
It is very good."
The joy beat in my side fast;
Beat in my throat.
There were tears in my throat
So that I could hardly behold where I walked,
So that I seemed taller than the trees,
My head was so proud.
