"These Children"

(Photograph by Nikki McGuire)

It's all okay

It's all undone

Look at home with

Fresh, wet eyes and

Breathe and find time

Passing from the

Victorians

Who clutched at your skirts

Dance with the moon

Feel the world

Touch its tilt

But you are its turn

The spin

The earth under our tired feet, 

But still we walk 

And still we trust in you 

To carry us through sunshine 

Into darkest night
Through sunshine
Into darkest night

Because you move us

In your turn
