Poem by Octavio Paz

I am simply human; I breathe so faintly.
The night, meanwhile, is endlessly long.
Yet still, when I lift my head high,
I watch the stars as they write.

Unknowingly, I’ve suddenly understood:
that I too have turned into something written,
and in that very moment,
someone has spelled me into being.
