A New Earth
With A Pink Sun
It’s a happy day
It’s a warm soft rain
Sprinkling my body
Washing off my pain
Now stand
Rise to a pink sun
Command the flowers to bloom
Direct the birds in song
One more chance
A new earth
You will not hurt
Kiss the ground
Take nothing down
Milk and honey
Fruits and berries
Will be your food
Teach your sons
Teach your daughters
About the new earth
And pink sun
Teach them
How their forefathers
Didn’t care
About the other one
In a great anger
The old earth got sick
And threw-up
Ice water washed it clean
A death of life
Chilled us to the bone
To be awakened here
All alone
A law giver charged us
To take care of
This one
A new earth
With a pink sun

Wrote this in the late 80s, a dream of a new world.
I wonder – what in our scientific world would create an atmosphere that would have us see our sun as pink? Some sort of reverse ultraviolet effect? Would Mother Nature do that for a short while to reverse the effects of the hole in our ozone layer?
