I Stretched my mind until I stood
Out in space, upon a star,
I looked, and saw the flying earth
Where seven planets are.

Delicately interweaving
like fireflies on a moist june night,
The planetoids among the planets
played for their own delight.

I watched earth putting off her winter
And slipping into green,
I saw the dark side of the moon
No man has ever seen.

like shining wheels in an opened watch
They all revolved with soundless motion,
Earth sparkled like rain-wet flower,
Bearing her petals, plain and ocean.
