WHAT HE KNEW


He smiled when the sky cleared
and the calls of the birds
became milder and more contented.
He knew that no one can know
the prizes that will be presented
in the next moment, or
how many mysteries will be solved
in this hour, or how holy
the whole world is. He knew
that nothing can surpass
the surprise of having
a heartbeat, or holding
another person’s hand,
like he does sometimes
before sitting down to dinner.
