I Entered This World To See The Sun... Poem by Konstantin Dmitrievich Balmont

I Entered This World To See The Sun...



I entered this world to see the sun
And the blue horizon.
I entered this world to see the sun
And the towering mountains.

I entered this world to see the ocean
And the bright array of vales.
I encompassed worlds in a single glance
I am master of all I survey.

I triumphed over cold oblivion
To create my dream.
In each moment I stream with revelation,
And I always sing.

My dream was born through suffering,
But I am loved for that.
Who can rival the strength of my song?
No one, no one.

I entered this world to see the sun.
And if the day should dim,
I will sing…I will sing of the sun
Until my dying hour!

Wow! What a wonderful poem! What a wonderful ision on the power of man! This very idea echoes, when the great Malayalam poet Vayalar Ramavarma wrote: ചക്രവാളത്തിൻ മതിൽക്കെട്ടിന്മേൽ കൈയും കുത്തിക്കൊണ്ടു നിൽക്കും ഞാൻ പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിൻ ഭ്രമണം നിയന്ത്രിക്കാൻ“ Meaning, ” I stand leaning on the Great Wall of the horizon, directing the movements of the universe.”
