Fulfillment lyrics
by Langston Hughes
The earth-meaning
Like the sky-meaning
Was fulfilled
We got up
And went to the river
Touched silver water
Laughed and bathed
In the sunshine
Day
Became a bright ball of light
For us to play with
Sunset
A yellow curtain
Night
A velvet screen
The moon
Like an old grandmother
Blessed us with a kiss
And sleep
Took us both in
Laughing
