Little boy, you stood at the edge of the earth and looked to the stars
You reached your hand and took them in your grasp
You pulled them close and breathed your life into them
One by one you placed them, brighter, into the gaps
Little boy, you smiled at the edge of the earth and felt the breeze
You waved your arms and laughed into the air
With each pulse you stirred up the clouds and sent them away
Your breath pushing, guiding them to quench the thirst of the dust
Little boy, you dreamed at the edge of the earth and made it true
You shouted with spoken words unbound by time
Your tongue moved and danced and the flowers bloomed
Each brighter than the one that came before it
Little boy, you walked at the edge of the earth and touched the darkness
You cracked it so deeply that only light could be seen
As it poured through your hands and through your feet
And tore down the divides that stood between
Little boy, you danced at the edge of the earth to that song
You danced in your father’s site and he gave you all that was his
With the power to lift the moon and move the waves
The gift so complete was so full of your name it was formed by it.
Little boy, you stand at the edge of the earth looking to people that walked it
You reach down with you hand and take them in your grasp
You pull them close and breathe your life into them
One by one you place them, whiter than snow, back into the gaps
