[Spoken Word]
Like the sphinx knows silence
And the pyramids know time
Like Sisyphus knew regret
As he thought about his crime
As Julius knew betrayal
As Judas knew the kiss
And David with his nervous hand
Knew not to miss
And Helen in her blindness
Knew better how to touch
And Lincolin in his wisdom
Knew the angels in each of us
Like the Delphi knew tomorrow
Like crocodiles know the Nile
Like Michelangelo knew stone
A mothеr knows her baby's smile
Then shе placed her hand upon his lips
In something akin to a kiss
And in her arms he stayed asleep
As the night grew dark and the child dreamt deep
