The first ray of light peeked through the shadows
Lighting the blues, the yellows and the greens,
The great cottony hues laughed away with the wind
And I heard a silent whisper (was that mine?),
'Who am I in this world of wonder?'
Then came the rain with thunder and lightning
And yet, had the gentlest touch upon my soul,
Brought forth a rainbow bubbling with joy
In awe, I watched the birds chirp away merrily into the sky
It was almost an afterthought when I heard (or did I?)
'What am I in this world of wonder?'
At last came the waves, crashing like white fleets of flame,
The mountains roared and the smoke bellowed,
The land parted as the world shook
Devouring that which always stood.
And amidst the chaos, the scream and the pain
I heard myself wonder,
'Where am I in this world of wonder?'
