Not I know

a poem by Suman Dodril

Until I saw the rising sun;
Never knew what light is;
Now I know.

Until I thought that is all;
Never knew what all I can do;
Now I know.

Until I knew the answer to the question;
Never knew the question’s purpose;
Now I know.

Until I felt you can see right through me;
Never knew what a friend is;
Now I know.

Until I had the fairy dream;
Never knew what an angel is;
Now I know.

Until I got drenched in the pouring rain;
Never knew what a rainbow is;
Now I know.

Until I held the new born baby;
Never knew who a mother is;
Now I know.

Until I came closer to death;
Never knew what life is;
Now I know.

Until my heart felt what my mind thought;
Never knew what poetry is;
Now I know.
