Imaginings 1 (1986) . Poem by Dennis Green

Oh stumbly tumbly me
upon this tiny piece of planet,
and to gaze at such
vast blue beauty of sky.
(but knowing)
How little me
against so tall a mighty all
of Suns and Stars and spotted Moons
perched huge up there
like fat balloons.
So, happy me
for the wide-eyed sparkle of children,
for the largeness of colours, for clouds
and for dancing
(crying laughing sighing)
and no less for the enormity of a dream!

Which would (altogether) make a little me grow,
and a tiny planet swell
and
(brighter than a billion fat balloons could even)
Glow.
