Otherwise

     I woke up once
     On another Earth
     In another time
     An uncertain birth
     In another dimension
     In another lifetime
     In a different body
     With an opposing sign
     Another shade of red
     A different hue of blue
     A secret Word for Love
     In the Mystery of You
     In a faraway home
     With an unfamiliar crowd
     From unique birthing gown
     To the eternal shroud
     I wrote a poem
     In a different rhyme
     It was slow in coming
     I took my time

     -Jehanah-
