i held the world in my hand
it was small
so very small
like a grain of sand
—
i saw them all
kings of the land
the ragged band
i saw them fall
—
i cried a tear
my heart did weep
fountains and deep
sprang from my tear
—
in his sleep
he was a seer
a clouded mirror
was his to keep
—
i gave a gift
they tore at me
upon my tree
their souls to sift
—
one gone from three
in heaven a rift
on air a wift
of life to be
—
i saw them all
the mortal man
fishing on land
i heard them call
—
like a grain of sand
so very small
but i died for all
i held the world in my hand
