Poetry: Say Yes

In the silence before time

She made her decision

The decision was TO BE

 

With this choice

Her universe began

Her eternity was born

According to her will

 

TO BE was her dance

With the cosmos,

Saying yes to life

Was the essence

Of her existence.

 

Now

Every possibility begins

With the decision TO BE

 

And

The love of life

Is the priceless gift

She brings to me
