Sparkle Sparkle

when birds dreaded ocean trash
as smog plagued fish
when people lived on seas
and drank the earth
when the moon blinded children
hoping to colonize the sun
she climbed back up the slide
and fell into the sky.

the stars we wish upon
stare back
and gently hum,

"Sparkle sparkle, little one
how I wonder how you've done
down below me don't you cry
I've been with you
by and by."
