roots from a darkened cave,
an arrow from a bow.

in magic puddles
on glaciers
standing tall on the earth.

The sky is like a baby.
His favorite toy is a
bright yellow ball he calls “the sun”.
The sun is a yellow blot.
A hot, distant boiling pot,
And spills down it’s rays,
Upon the sky, to brighten it’s days,
But when he has bath time,
and his favorite toy is
hidden among the soap
suds he calls “clouds”,
he starts to cry,
tears drip, like rain, down the glass
of his white cheeks.
At night, he closes his eyes
as his bright yellow ball
is placed in his toy chest.
He sleeps in a blanket of stars;
the moon, his nightlight.

is clear
