Fall inside your mind

Close your eyes

It's easy

Look! You can see with your eyes closed

You can see birds, with aqua feathers and pink beaks,

flying away from the nest

And you can see baby turtles hatching from fragile eggshells

Soon they will begin to crawl towards the future

And unicorns, too, because unicorns are real in your mind,

and the baby unicorns have only just begun to sparkle

But soon, sooner than you think, they will be old enough

To run as fast as a star falls

If you close your eyes enough, you can even see the six of us

In one year, twenty years, forty years, fifty years

And we will be older and wiser

And we will be happy

Just close your eyes and imagine, and you will see

We will be so happy
