hello hello

look at this new greengold world

isn’t it beautiful

aren’t you happy to be alive

and I reply

of course

there is magic in these mountains

inside them are the children of joy

our children who will sail the oceans

and travel through space like us

and how we fly like the birds

who are kin to us in body

and beauty and song

and how they navigate the air

like children at play

and I remember

myself running as a boy

and speaking to the stars

in our special silver language

and I felt the happiness

of the moon smiling

how she showered me

with motherly affection

and the old streets

were full of people and feeling

and our hearts and minds soaked

in the sublime golden sunset

and we knew what it was

to be human and beyond that

that was the reassurance

the sky gave us

that was what

it told us we were made for

so I looked at the buildings

down the years and saw

they had grown old

with the responsibilities

of parents withered

still they looked on smiling

at their children

marching down the skies

on and on

and we were airborne

our hearts were aloft

and laughing at the world

we were now flying

in and out of

hysterically roaring at

the comedy of it all

we fell into each other’s arms

and the seas sang

and we were picked up and kissed

by the sun

with love.
