the recreation of life in 3 parts

act i

i will re-write the configuration of the stars, 

create lighthouses out of each, make them of sugar and not gas

let them sustain life among light 

i will create moons like emolients on harshness to the sky 

may i bless you with galaxies reachable in the mind and eye 

act ii

mother earth, i will recreate your beautiful figure once more 

return of the demure oceans, 

the vivacious waves and there crashing among the dulcet sand 

i shall call the angels to carve you like chatoyant

conflate the colors of the sunset once more, and plant roots in the curves of your earth 

i will recreate heat of your center, and women will be named after you because of it 

i will allow you the most blooming flowers, made of gossamer thread and sunlight 

may i bless you with creatures to take care of you 

act iii 

creation, 

i will mold you out of clay and stardust 

infuse your colors with the pigments like paints

all eyes and all color 

i will create your hair out of gossamer like flowers 

allow roots to grow from your insides, and create your body garden 

your mind will be as brilliant, but far more 

as you can form creation from thoughts 

and the universe will be recreated once more
