Innocents' Valentine

If you think of the farthest realms
beyond Saturn and the animal circle
and how they go on and on
filled with the greatest beings
and then you think of the earth
here in its little blue puddle
every day its mother the sun
bringing in the dead light
for it to eat having to leave
it alone unprotected for hours
at a time it makes me think
of any little town no one
would ever have heard of
except the youngest son
was born there the one
who turned the light around
aiming it back out into the dark
depths of love no one before
had comprehended
