When we arrived by the river, The colored disks floated on the transparent clear water, They lit up the bank, My brothers were pulled in, until they sank, And throughout the wood there was a croaking, We forgot the perils of our journey, The battles that lay before us, Were as the ground, For the flying feet of a new ballet, Our thoughts did piruet, Before a liquid sunset, Which dripped in glow, The tingling filled our mouths like the taste of snow, Our hearts burst like bubbles, And our souls jumped from one to another, Our whispers floated through the air like pollen, And we found our true selves again in the depths of color, Conquest took new meaning, Conquest was now a feeling, Conquest was poetic, The fruits that tumbled in our laps, Lizards dripped with tree sap, The parrots now had lips that flapped, And the breeze did give us gifts, Human touch now had a sound And greatness did abound. ~ LF
