I had a dream of A’Tuin

The great turtle flying through space

I peered over the edge and over again,

The underside of the disc

Expecting desolation

A smooth platform to ease the labors

Of four colossal elephants spinning

Our great disc

Instead it was breathtaking

A whole new world to explore.

Vibrant, verdant, vivacious

So many colors I had never seen

And gargantuan beasts beneath the disc dream

Should I travel there again I’ll be sure to take notes

About the creatures and inhabitants

Spun secretly beneath the disc

And swept around by the elephant trunks

Alas I woke too soon
