Zero

All appeared new, and strange at the first;
Inexpressibly rare, delightful and beautiful
I felt like one coming out of an upper room
To fret no more and walk abroad confirmed
The houses shone in silence and the child in me
Stepped in so deep in this unshaded place;
A fine kingdom that meant to be home
All things were spotless, pure and alive
Free and immortal
So I didn’t want to know
What I was going to be
All time was eternity
