Green Children

An August Day in the Hills of Spain, a Pair of Children 
Emerged From a Cave.
The Strangest Sight There Alone They Stood,
With Skin of Green and Words no One Had Heard.
The Girl Was Stronger, the Boy Was Weak,
With Her New Mother She Learned to Speak.
And Wove a Tale of a Dying Sun, They Had Left Darkness,
A Dark World Come Undone.
They Travelled So Far. Believing They Came From a Star.
She Fell Through Life, Through Time, Through Parallel 
Lives.
The Men of Science, the Men of Fame, the Men of Letters 
Tried to Explain:
Was It Parallel Worlds Or a Twist of Time to Make Her
Think She'd Fallen From the Sky?
A Whirlwind Spun Them All Alone, Took Them From Their 
Twilight Home.
Believing They Came From a Star.
