The Little Boy
The drowning fly
a little boy...
rescued from water
placed, upon leaf.
Shaking his wings
staring and puzzled?
Little Boy smiled
then said,
Goodbye.
Off he flew,
perhaps a sigh?
Little became bigger,
old, then
gone.
Ages, years later
planet now dying.
Lamentation and despair!
No, little hope!
And they came
strange-ones; as
bugs.
Seeing through time
somehow they knew?
Knew about Boy
from long
ago.
Leaving quite suddenly
left us gift.
A planet saved,
saving our people.
Turning at door
smiling said,
Goodbye.
Statue right there,
spot they landed.
The Little Boy
saving a
Fly.
To Ridley Scott in memory of his brother Tony.
