A Lovely Song for Jackson
~ V.R. Lang
If I were a seaweed at the bottom of the sea,
I’d find you, you’d find me.
Fishes would see us and shake their heads
Approvingly from their submarine beds.
Crabs and sea horses would bid us glad cry,
And sea anemone smile us by.
Sea gulls alone would wing and make moan,
Wondering, wondering, where we had gone.
If I were an angel and lost in the sun,
You would be there, and you would be one.
Birds that flew high enough would find us and sing
Gladder to find us than for anything.
And clouds would be proud of us, light everywhere
Would clothe us gold gaily, for dear and for fair.
Trees stretching skyward would see us and smile,
And all over heaven we’d laugh for a while.
Only the fishes would search and make moan,
Wondering, wondering, where we had gone.
