Who Taught?

“Everything arrived knowing what it must become. Except the heart of man.”

August 18, 2025 2 min read Poetry

Who taught the rivers to obey?Who taught the fire to kneel before the cold?Who taught the birds to build their nests?Who taught the tides to find the shore?

Who taught the leaves to die?without blaming the autumn?

Who taught the sun to rise?tearing apart the darkness?

Little did I knowwhen they arrived,they already knewwhat they must become.

Except the heart of man,forever wandering,forgetting why he came.
