Come with me, tired office worker Exchange your skyscrapers for mountains Your asphalt for river pebbles The shuffling of paper pages for babbling brooks And honking of traffic for the calls of geese
Sit with me on the precipice to paradise As time fades and sunset palette cascades all encompassing Soft clouds billow and rush past in the sky To be home for dinner Long shadows of trees stretch along the earth and fade Absorbed in the warm and pastel afterglow
The sky changes from cotton candy pink to a deeper ocean blue And stars begin appearing in earnest, clustering upon each other Until they fill the sky in glittering kaleidoscope The galaxies wrap around us, spinning ever so slowly as if we lay on a pedestal Instead of on a dark carpet of grass
We grow roots here From our fingers and toes, deep, deep into the warm and comforting anchor of the planet As it spins in the vast void of space, paths circling upon circling Each heavenly body from Milky way to Andromeda A baby mobile hung in perpetuity Where every worry ceases In the unseen hands of Maker
