Creation

The embers flicker

The smoke rises

The birds sing a lovely song

As time passes

Her son starts to rise up

Bringing light to the sky

He cries and cries

He's no longer holding her

He cries and cries

Until he can see her

Ring around the pillar

The man must speak

If dismissed

The future looks bleak

From a pig's back

To a turtle's shell

Who speaks the truth

Of how the stars fell
