O Dad! Your asters have legs
They walked with me all these years
This memory’s hangings with pegs
An ambrosia of love always endears
O Mum! Your voice is still music
There’s volume in this album of magic
I have rewound the lyrics in repeated flicks
Your flame is always burning on my wick
And nothing can break me, nothing can take me
The truth is earth, not a rising and ebbing sea
The red sparks of emotion are of fire born
Even tragedy bears equanimity; the air is dawn
I am motion and motionless in time’s face
Your little cocoon gives me enough leg space
There is a trickle of dew, that to me is not few
There is unimaginable vastness in the little to view
how beautiful was that
