Journey

Once upon a worldly time

She came into being

She sat at the bottom of the world

And saw nothing but the sun at noon

The sunshine told her that she could

One day embrace a better world

So she climbed and she climbed

And one day she saw the world

For the first time

For a while the sun did shine

And she danced on the plains

She yelled for joy

And sang the praises of the world

And one day

The mirror broke

A thousand pieces shattered before her

And she was back at the bottom as before

For an eternity she mourned her loss

And for an eternity she cried

Only after a flood of tears built up

Did she finally climb out again

But the mirror was broken

Things would never be the same

So she pieced together what was left

And said goodbye to the sun

She sits on the plains at night

Breathing in and out

And embraced the quiet moon instead
