Do you remember
when we stood by the floodgates
to watch our homeland
become the heavenland?
***
When Aphrodite danced among the archangels
as they played the anthem
of our ancestors,
When Yin married Yang
as the sun aligned with the moon,
When comets and rockets shot to infinity
and far beyond
as Peter Pan rode off with Pegasus
to Neverland,
When Genie wished upon a new cosmos
as the stars laid down their light,
When Atlantis awakened from its deep slumber
as the seas parted ways
for the mighty Aslan?
***
Yes, Papa,
I remember,
I will always remember.
