A first breath drawn, a sigh, a yawn
A new life starts, a child is born
Through half-closed eyes, unfocussed sight
The light streams in, the world is bright
The growth of spring, the songbirds sing
And warmth, the sun, the joy it brings
Then from afar a raven kraas
Dark wings thrash, an avatar
In distant lands, of dust and sand
Conflicts flare, in wars insane
Into this world of joy and lie
The child lets out his maiden cry
