A Wrong Step Taken

A wrong step taken,
Which changed my life
Of hatred, of love and of goodness.
Life was generous but waves
Swept it away, telling me:
A wrong step is taken.

A bird which perched on a branch,
Suddenly, took the path of ground.
Dark stopped the search for light;
Light stopped to kill the dark.
The whole world started to shout:
A wrong step is taken.

All this was supposition,
Because it can't occur
When people live and life loves;
When love cares and care dreams;
When dreams stare and staring is dream.
