FOSSIL

The old rock perched gracefully on the hill. Gazing longingly at the sky. His wings were spread but stuck in stone. He dreams, he wishes, he tries to remember when he could fly.

Millions of years have passed. Time has ravaged the hill where he sat nesting. Sand and silt, wind and rain, erosion has left him exposed. A child goes by and picks him up now he's no longer resting.

CAN YOU IMAGINE... A world with no life A house with no mice A world with no flight An earth with no light A shepherd with no flock A watch with no clock A sea with no tide A bus with no ride Imagination the spark of all creation

CAN YOU IMAGINE... A world with no looters Internet with no computers A bird with no wings A bell with no dings A ship with no hull A beach with no gull A world with no liar A match with no fire Imagination displayed all over the nation

I DON'T UNDERSTAND Why people die Why bears hibernate Why some people hate to try Why people like to be late I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND What killed the dinosaurs Can there be other life in the universe Why we have laws Why people believe in a curse I UNDERSTAND How a plane flies How a stall works How to cook kai How sound works

I DON'T UNDERSTAND Why we sleep Why disease affects us Why the seas are so deep I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND Why space is so big Why we see in colour Why people created th Mig Why my mum likes oddfellows I UNDERSTAND How gravity works How bats find prey Why predators lurk Why we have days

JUST BECAUSE I'M SMALL I'm not bad at everything I'm not lonely Or weird JUST BECAUSE I'M SMALL I can have fun Doesn't mean I can't cook Doesn't mean I'm not helpful JUST BECAUSE I'M SMALL Doesn't mean I like to be pushed round Or like to be tormented Or to be harrassed JUST BECAUSE I'M SMALL --- ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM

WINTER Swings in with howling winds Not caring whats in its path Unleashing her wet stormy hair Leaving with no hesitation.

VANUATU I see water clear as glass I smell the warm morning air I Hear the lagoon laping the shore I feel dryness of the air I taste the freshness of the food I think i'm in paradise
