This Child in This Land

Dynamic awakening 

of a revived being they possessed;

waters running down that river

A heavy shower from the heavens 

created a musical atmosphere around   -

Green was the land 

that inhabited a barefooted child 

This place had one law - seclusion was the norm 

Its fertility thanked anonymity 

This child laying down on its hand 

Breathed the freshness of its air 

Wide land, land of transparency,

Where only his own voice echoed and echoed 

until back to him it came -

A sign that his ambition was to fulfil

the promise held in his heart 

Friends came over 

Their names were distinct -

Star, Bird, Smile, Light

Around him they assembled, 

In the cool of the evening - a little communion 

One worked with him directly; bird sang sweet hymns

The others more abstract - or so

Communicated subtly from within 

All four contributed 

daily to make his world,

This land of separation -

A haven of rest 

Forever green it remained, this land 

Here, there was no 'season'

No difference between day and night 

The plants didn't depend on the 'weather'

This child did not rely on, conformism.

Loneliness was inconceivable 

Fear was a nonexistent ideology 

Deception was an inanimate conception;

From here, negativity was banned 

Physics had no effect on this child 

He was able to walk in space 

for he had defied gravity 

The friends that spoke from within him 

prescribed the size and shape 

of his picture.

In this land he had both, 

Assurance and Insurance -

a confirmation that only his voice 

remained untouched 

This child resided in this land 

Where seclusion was the norm.
