and from the heavens shall they come;
resplendent, shimmering, a glory to behold

and they shall clothe the Earth in light,
and cradle Her like an infant

and they shall sprinkle all around Her,
the effervescent sparks of the infinite

like a glistening seed shall they swaddle Her;
a starseed in the fertile soil of space

gently shall her growth be nurtured forth;
and the harvest they shall reap is Love
