How The World TurnsA Poem by Steve H
I’m in a garden in the sky where sunlight grows on trees
When it’s ripe its drops straight down and shines on land and seas
I’m in a factory in the sky where they make the clouds
And once they’ve filled them up with rain they drop them out in crowds.
I’m with a man sat on the horizon watching him paint the sky
He’s lucky as every day and night he gets another try
I’m sat upon a shooting star with rope tied to the sun
As it shoots, the sun it moves, another day’s begun.
I’m with a princess on the moon; she’s trying to send a sign
She polishes the surface so that the moon might shine
I’m sat atop a rainbow but it’s really tubes of plastic
And little elves pour paint to fill them, making it fantastic
I’m with an astral hamster now; he’s large but rather thin
He runs atop the world we live, and as he runs we spin
And light years away an ancient woman sits stirring her tea
She doesn’t have a clue she’s stirring our whole galaxy.
