All Their Names

All Their Names

I want to write all their names on the sand,
every creature ever born on this world
who opened eyes and gazed up at strange sky
where clouds and stars dance in the swirling wind.

I want to write all their names on the sand,
every creature who woke at gleaming dawn
and sang the vision of their hope for love
as they explored cold rivers and high hills.

I want to write all their names on the sand,
every creature who wondered at the sun
and climbed wild trees to pluck sweet juicy fruit
then feasted as they held their lover close.

I want to write all their names on the sand,
every creature who felt the spinning world
spiral through the vast abyss of bright dreams
before they lay down and returned to sand.
