    Feeling itself for the first time,
    The first thing that came was fear.
    Followed next within short time
    Was loneliness generously smeared

    All over that it choked when it was
    Touched by another, one of its own.
    Older perhaps, but welcomed fast
    By the first, and its big smile shone.

    "What am I?", the former asked.
    "Ah! So soon?", responded the other.
    "First see where you are and bask
    In glory!", it said, making it better.

    It looked below and sure enough,
    There was a gulf much bigger than
    What millions of them can fill up.
    It looked up, finding only one.

    "What is that?", it asked the other.
    "Oh! It is but the pole star, you know?
    But we all start here and soon wither,
    Its only downwards we go!"

    After a moment of silence, the first
    Asked this - "But is it there forever?".
    The second answered by nodding just,
    Lost till it was disturbed by the follower.

    "How boring it is to stay forever?",
    The first one said and was startled,
    As a gentle breeze was blown over.
    It descended, making the other rattled.
