I was there – And perhaps you as well,
Standing perhaps a breath away,
Perhaps perched in the darkness of a vision,
Perhaps moving on a turning point of consciousness,
But that was a tale of prehistoric times.

That was our existence, yours and mine,
Which became the first language of the world.
Words were coined to identify me,
Words were coined to identify you,
And they wrote in that first language, their first book.

That was our tryst, yours and mine,
We slept on a bed of stones,
And our eyes, lips and finger tips,
Became the words of your body and mine.
They then made translations of this first book.

The Rig Veda was compiled much later.
