From a spark, a vast reaction
Attraction, between objects in space
Retrace the movements on your palm
Calm again, the universe sings
Brings a tear to every eye
High above the earth, you gazed
Amazed at all that you had made
Laid down in the night, a wondrous
Thunderous voice cried out
About the time you gave them breath
Death comes swiftly for them all
Fall then winter, life has perished
Cherished each day, a single seed grows
Glows tenderly in the moonlit night
Delight propagates a sea of trees
Decrees spread its love; forests wake
Remake the world, and into its embrace, succumb.
(From a spark, a vast reaction…)
