Friday's Whims of the Time Traveler 64.0: July 23rd, 2007

Illuminae
by Belinda Roddie

Stranger in the illuminae

Singing a father’s lullaby

Under a glorious Neptune sky

The fireflies dim their glow to cry

Drinking from an oaken bowl

While lying on a velvet knoll

And the stars so high above him roll

Like wheels in cosmos dark as coal

Stranger in the illuminae

Doesn’t know where he is and why

Caught in the view of a swallow’s eye

That gently glides over the cold hillside

He sleeps, while the spirit of the air keeps

His body warm

Tomorrow it will send him home
