As gentle as the green eye moves
In this empty atmospheric world
where calm green seas blossom
and soft rains brush into life
distant peas that nourish us
so light and flourished forest seems
And people float on
Hovering crafts of streams
Replacing dreams of Child face grafts
Of faces beamed by torchering accidents
Our gentle eyes turn the pitied to the calm
As one feels the distant dream alarmed
For all of those who'd seen God's slow memes
Turned to prayer and empathies
And the children were fulfilled and freed
The neon angel was brought to hospital
And Arch Angel Raphael read these scrolling finds
And spoke his wisdom to great mankind
And so grows his light for them to find
To reach peaks of tender mind
As the days renew from end to the break
Of man's dawn before that had churned perfections into prejudicial mistakes
Impressed upon the mind of caring angels
Were souls as beautiful as children of the ward
Became loves sweetest heroes to applaud
For their bravery to boldly look for new friends to read them a long book.
