How well we've done

How well we've done,
says the setting sun
Spot-lighting the peninsula homes
like a city of gold.




How well we've done,
says the silken wave
Lolling along the shore
Receiving a galumphing dog
Without maternal fuss

How well we've done,
the thoughts in our heads
Of giants,
of dust,
of wonder-lust

How well we've done!
To walk without riot
To swim without drowning
To play without rules
To smile without cameras

How well we've done.
