28 Month by month, year by year,
plants and animals returned,

until there were once again

white, sandy beaches

with coconut palms,
leafy, green forests

with brightly colored birds

and butterflies,

and a cool, blue lagoon,
with silvery fish

in an underwater garden

of strange and wondrous animals.

29 Perhaps one day,
there would be also

a sleepy village

of grass-thatched houses

with gentle, smiling people.

30 For the legends say that,
just as the mountain gods

destroy themselves,

so too are they reborn as islands,
which rise out of the sea

in an endless cycle of destruction

and renewal.
