There is something timeless about them, more than that they outlive us,198Please respect copyright.PENANA7OILC6hvu6
it’s as if they are infinite in their light that they give us and shine as198Please respect copyright.PENANAo12zr5UxeD
bright as a soul.198Please respect copyright.PENANAosRww3mD7v
When I was a boy I was told a tale,198Please respect copyright.PENANAoKY23UWlBg

that of innocent lost in darkness,198Please respect copyright.PENANAPy0mseSAY0

a lion king that lived as the ruler of the land.198Please respect copyright.PENANA5LbZHg6WgQ

One night, whence the dark of night came,198Please respect copyright.PENANAEU29Ii42iE
under the cover of God's blanket upon the sky,198Please respect copyright.PENANACwVXBIyEeN

the king and his kingdom took up stones one by one198Please respect copyright.PENANAgAJNrJDKrW
and threw them at God’s great, big blanket in the sky,198Please respect copyright.PENANAPYflBpiZ3g
ripping and tearing holes through it198Please respect copyright.PENANAq59xZB2uAe
and letting the light of the sun seep and shine through,198Please respect copyright.PENANAPa3XSk65oZ
down upon the animals,198Please respect copyright.PENANAYFNTr6isKA
down upon the kingdom,198Please respect copyright.PENANAOFi1bwu5E6
