So here we are
at the dawn of a new day
pregnant with the midnight dew
that has attached herself
to the ground
like a thousand shiny diamonds
glistening in the sun
only to be awakened
and dissolved
by the heat of the day
or by the boots
of the men and women
on their way to work
in the fields
or in the factories
where they toil
to implant in the soil
of their souls
a modicum of living spirit
to take them
far beyond
their living mortal souls' space
on this planet
and into a new world
a world
where all creatures get along
and together
build a better future
for the generations
to come
who will enter their world
not with a cry of despair
but with a shout
of joyous delight
at the perfection
that surrounds them.
Yeah, right.
