Promise Me

Promise me the day
in apple blossom May
we’ll with each other play
promise me the day

Promise me the moon
Midsummer’s eve in June
with garlands we’ll festoon 
promise me the moon

Promise a trip to Mars
gateway to the stars
we’ll hang in red-shift bars
promise a trip to Mars

Promise me the sea
swimming naked free
no plastic will we see
promise me the sea

Promise me the sky
we will together fly
above the contrails high
promise me the sky

Promise me the earth 
rich soil for my berth
in nature’s circle rebirth
promise me the earth
