Momentum

He conjured a world whose moon was quite square And the ko-ko-ko bird grew burnished blonde hair That rippled and shimmered and shone in the sun As each bird set off on its world circling daily run Over the mountains to shores of each pearly sea Through swaying groves of the world singing tree That sang healing rhythms and respectful tunes To the benevolent face of the smiling square moon He conjured a sky of the deepest deep azure blue Soft white clouds that shifted and drifted on through And each day at fixed times of the planetary clock Each fleecy whiter white cloud would slowly unlock To pour gently refreshing life giving warm rains Over the fecund teeming grass waving world plains Where the ko-ko-ko birds keep their egg bearing nest Each subtly lined and placed just away from the rest And he conjured a garden with its Adam and Eve And he fervently hoped and he dared to believe That this time maybe they would stay innocent and free From fruit of the maybe destroying wild knowledge tree And he watched his new world as a new day begun Under the light of a gently pulsing square sun He watched with a sigh then went on his eternal way The started work finished before the resting seventh day
