II.
One day,
I sat under the great tree
At the border of my village
Where I pilgrim to from my house
That I may meditate in peace,
Free from the whispers of the world,
Because I found a secret—
I found the secret of life
That made mankind to bring forth
And bear children of potential—
The secrets that made the birds fly,
That made the fishes to swim
Was laid bare to me.
I found the secret of life
That made man to hear sounds,
That made man see realities,
And say possibilities.
Aye! The secret to how mankind sleep
And wake up with the strength of an ox
Was laid bare before me.
At last,
I lay my head in my hands
And wept in joy
For the secret is God.
